Singer Paloma Faith has given birth to her first child, with partner Leyman Lahcine.

Faith announced the birth on a post on Instagram, and took the opportunity to praise the NHS and those who supported her during her birth.

Along with the caption “God bless the NHS!” she posted a picture of a handwritten note saying:

“After a difficult labour resulting in an emergency caesarean I gave birth to my first child with whom I am over the moon, in love and delighted. What a trip!

It was all with the help of some incredible doctors, midwives and nurses at UCH NHS Hospital. The devotion, kindness and commitment shown by all of them was second to none and I am humbled by the whole experience.

“I really believe the NHS to be one of the greatest achievements of this country, and it should be respected and protected by all. I am humbled by the unfaltering dedication I witnessed and received there. So thank you to the NHS, Melissa Whitten, Georgia Seiti, Wendy Hill, all in the Fetal Assessment Unit and the Maternity Care Units. And god bless the NHS!”
