The Pledge favourite Michelle Dewberry has given birth to a baby boy, she has announced.

The 40-year-old had been in hospital for a month with PPROM, a pregnancy complication which can lead to premature birth.

Posting a picture of her newborn son on Twitter, the 2006 winner of The Apprentice wrote: "So happy to share that I'm now a mummy!

"After a month in hospital & lots of complications, my little man came into this world way too early (31 weeks) but takes after his mamma & is a fighter.

"I'm in love. Our next chapter, that of #NICU is now upon us. We take it day by day."

The baby is Dewberry's first child and the second for her partner Simon Jordan, former owner of Crystal Palace.
