Today Myleene gave birth to a baby girl, named Ava Bailey Quinn. Born at 1.45pm at a London hospital, Ava weighed in at 5lbs 90z. Myleene's agent told us that the birth went smoothly and all is well. Myleene went into labour shortly after the recording of 'The One Show' yesterday evening - after feeling a bit weird she went to the hospital and found out she was in labour.

We just want to say a huge congratulations to both Myleene and her partner Graham!  Myleene is expected to leave hospital tomorrow and take a well earned break with her baby.

Hi Guys!

I have to start by thanking everyone that bought my album and got it to Number One!!! I owe you such a debt of gratitude as I've found in the past, no matter how much you believe in something, you can never be sure other people will embrace it in the same way….. but you did and that's more than I could wish for so thank you once again.

I've been presenting on BBC's 'The One show' now for the past three weeks and I must say its been such a good laugh. We get to cover every subject going and I get to meet and interview loads of different people from such diverse backgrounds. We've already had guests from the world of pop and theatre to a man obsessed with clouds! And you get to pick up handy hints such as…if you put talc on your feet at the beach, the sand falls off and doesn't get stuck in between your toes! If you get to try it before me, let me know if it works……or if I'm just being gullible!

CNN's The Screening Room opened a new door for me into the world of animation this week. I always wondered what I would look like in cartoon form or what animated character I could play and it turns out the creative lot behind the new movie ‘Igor' (starring among others, Steve Buschemi and John Cleese and out in 2008) have cast me as the evil Professor Holzwurm (which literally translates as Prof. Woodworm!!) She's great to play…she looks like a cross between the fashion mogul Anna Wintour and the alien out of Predator!!

I was at a secret location last Monday filming the new M&S advert which I am really excited about. It was great to see the girls again as well as spend the day dressing up in fantastic clothes!

Less than four weeks to go till the 'big day'! I'm not sure if my baby will come early, late or bang on time but one things for sure, I'm getting really impatient now and want to meet her! Thank you to everyone that has sent me cards, presents and good luck letters. I will make sure she knows how lucky she is as soon as she's here!!

That's all for now. I'll definitely keep you informed over the next few weeks as something tells me things are going to get even more hectic!!

Big kiss to you all,
