You have all absolutely smashed this first year of parenthood, hope you know how amazing you are. Also massive fan of the cake, obvs."

The new update comes after Ellie was flooded with supportive messages as she told fans she 'didn't feel confident' when at her baby shower as she reflected a year on from the special day taking place. She shared pictures from her baby shower in April last year and as she posed for the camera with cradling her blossoming baby bump, Ellie admitted she didn't share the photos at the time because she 'didn't feel confident'.

Captioning the post, Ellie admitted to her 489,000 followers: "Can’t believe it’s been 1 whole year since my baby shower! I didn’t feel confident sharing pictures at the time. Safe to say I don’t ever get the chance to look this good now." For the latest TV and showbiz news, sign up to our newsletter.
