Mum gives birth during ad break on The X Factor — and returns to watch the WHOLE show while cradling her newborn
Laura Osbourne, 27, popped to the toilet during an ad break, but while on the loo her waters broke
A MUM gave birth in the bathroom during an X Factor ad break then returned to watch the rest of the show.
Laura Osbourne, 27, had gone to the loo when her waters broke.
She called to partner Martin O’Doherty, 29, that the baby, her second, was coming three weeks early and he called 999.
By the time medics got to them in Gravesend, Kent, she had given birth to 5lb 6oz Archie.
She then settled down to watch the rest of the ITV talent show.
Martin said: “Laura just sat back down with Archie and we all watched X Factor.”
He said that three paramedics and a team of midwives arrived soon after Archie was born - at exactly 8.12pm - and checked over the newborn and Laura to make sure they were ok.
After they were given the all clear, Laura promptly sat back down on the sofa cradling little Archie and watched the end of the talent show with Martin and big brother Ollie.
Martin, who also has an eight-year-old daughter called Courtney with an ex-partner, said Laura, who works in Boots, was 'fuming with him' as he missed the birth of Archie.
He said: "I've missed the births of all three of my children - the first two because I was at work and Archie because I was downstairs calling an ambulance with X Factor on in the background!"
