SKINS actress April Pearson has given birth to a "perfect" baby boy.
The 33-year-old shared the happy news on Instagram to fans - and revealed her son's adorable name.
April said: "I am over the moon to introduce our little boy Elwood James 💕🍼
"We call him Woody, and he was born on April 13th at 10:18am via planned #csection 💙
"We had a playlist of songs on shuffle and he came out to “We love to boogie” by T-Rex 😍.
"Everything was very calm and I actually felt the most calm I’d felt in about 9 months 😅!
NEW PARENTS
"Huge thanks to the brilliant staff @bsuhmaternityservices who put up with my neurosis throughout pregnancy and delivery, my brilliant surgeon and to the postnatal team who are angels on earth.
"He’s here, he’s perfect and we are thoroughly enjoying getting to know him. I’m so lucky!"
The Sun last year revealed that the actress and her husband Jamie Patterson were expecting a baby.
The pair have been married since 2017 and their pregnancy news came just months after they suffered a devastating miscarriage.
April played Tony’s long-suffering girlfriend Michelle Richardson on Skins and was written out of the second series to make way for a new generation of characters.
The actress went on to star in British horror flick, Tormented, opposite Alex Pettyfer.
