Big Brother’s Kate Lawler goes into labour two weeks early and posts picture from her hospital bed
KATE Lawler has gone into labour almost two weeks early after her waters broke at 5.45am this morning.
The radio host shared the news with her social media followers as she posted a picture from her hospital bed.
Captioning a picture of herself on a ward wearing a face mask, Kate, 40, wrote: "Good morning all. My waters broke at 5:45am this morning.
"I’m in hospital 11 days before my due date and 4 days ahead of my planned birth but I guess little Nuchky is ready to meet us!
"I’ve been monitored, had bloods and Covid test and am now waiting to hear from the doctor."
She also explained why her fiancé Martin, nicknamed Boj, was not in the hospital cubicle with her.
Kate added: "Boj isn’t allowed in until a decision has been made on whether they can fit me in today for an abdominal birth but hopefully they can and he will be allowed to come with me for the arrival of our little girl.
"It’s finally happening! x 💖".
The former Big Brother winner seemed in high spirits at the prospect of meeting her daughter sooner than expected.

She recently admitted she was struggling to be apart from her parents as prepared to welcome her first baby.
The Virgin Radio host broke down in tears saying "this pandemic can seriously do one" after not seeing her parents for three months.
If it had not been for the coronavirus pandemic, she added that "my dad would be here to helping me".
She had been trying to erect a moses basket with a stand when she had the breakdown and blamed her pregnancy hormones, but admitted she really missed her folks.
"I miss my mum and dad," a very sad Kate said to the camera.
