'I feel so grateful and happy to have her'

Reality star Jess Hayes has added to her family with a beautiful baby daughter named Zendaya Rose, new can reveal. Jess, who won Love Island back in 2015, welcomed her little girl on 30 April with her businessman fiancé Zeb and has now shared all the details in her first interview since giving birth.

Jess is already mum to a son named Presley, four, from a previous relationship, and has heartbreakingly suffered two miscarriages in the past; losing her son Teddy at 19 weeks in 2020 and another baby last year.

Here, the 31-year-old tells us how amazing it feels to finally have her "happily ever after" with baby Zendaya Rose - who she nicknames Zenny- and fills us in on her labour story...

Hi, Jess. Congratulations on your new arrival! How are you doing?

I'm good, I'm very tired though - I think reality is starting to hit! It's been two weeks since I gave birth and I feel like I've been trying to do too much. When you have two children you feel like you need to just be OK straight away after giving birth and get back to mum duties, so I think I might have pushed myself to get back to normal too quickly. But overall I am feeling OK now, it’s just like having a permanent hangover without the alcohol!

How was the labour? Did everything go to plan?
