Natasha Hamilton, 32, had been due to give birth to her fourth baby on 26th September, so she and partner Ritchie Neville knew there was a chance she could go into labour at pal Kerry Katona's wedding to George Kay.

And it seems as if, according to new reports, the Atomic Kitten star starter her contractions halfway through the after-dinner speeches.
A source told The Mirror: “Natasha was over 38 weeks, so she knew she was set to burst at any moment.
"She had a baby bag ready with her just in case, and told pals there that Ritchie had even warned her that she might be better off missing the party just to be safe. But she loves Kez so she went along to show her support."

“It was a late wedding, so the speeches were going on at 9pm when Natasha started feeling a bit sick. She had some pains, and decided to go to hospital just to be safe to make sure everything was OK with the baby.
“She hadn’t realised but she was already 3cm dilated.”
A spokeswoman confirmed a few hours ago that labour was progressing well, but Natasha seemed to confirm the birth of her daughter when she took to Twitter yesterday evening.
She wrote: "Well what an eventful 48 hours I've had! Totally exhausted & glad to be home. Thanks to all at #SouthMeadHospital who took care of us x"
Ritchie, meanwhile, teased a "long day and night", but it remains unconfirmed whether or not their baby girl - whom they plan to name Ella - has been born.
How exciting!
We hope that Natasha, who is already mum to Josh, 11, Harry, 9, and Alfie, 3, is being well looked after - and we can't wait to meet little Ella.
