Scarlett Moffatt give birth! Former Gogglebox star welcomes a healthy baby boy

Scarlett Moffatt has welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with boyfriend Scott Dobinson – four months after confirming her pregnancy. 

The former Gogglebox star confirmed the news on Thursday in a sweet Instagram snap shared with her 2.4 million followers. 

Captioning the snap, she wrote: ‘Jude Xavier Dobinson. My darling boy I can’t stop crying looking at you as I can’t quite believe you’re mine. 

‘You wanted to meet us early at just 35 weeks. Me & your daddy love you so much that I can’t even put this feeling into words. 

‘Our heart and soul feels complete & ready to burst. I will forever and always be grateful to be your mammy.

‘I can’t thank @scottdobby enough & to the midwife’s Helen & Charlotte & all of the NHS team at Durham Hospital.

‘You will all forever hold a special place in my heart for looking after us all with such compassion. Let the baby bubble commence

aking to the social media platform on Saturday, the reality TV personality, 32, revealed she had packed her hospital bag in preparation for the birth. 

Scarlett said preparing for labour made the prospect of becoming a first time mother ‘feel real.’ 

She proudly showed off her baby bump while revealing she managed to squeeze in a date with her boyfriend.  

Scarlett looked positively glowing in a burnt orange figure-hugging dress and matching cardigan.

The former Gogglebox star captioned the post: ‘Packing my hospital bag has made it feel real of just how soon I’ll get to meet my little boy and see the feet that have been kicking me #baby.’

Scarlett also shared a selfie with Scott and said: ‘Yesterday was such a lovely day. Me and @scottdobby went to see The Little Mermaid and then went to Purple Pea Cocknel for an Abba night. Getting as many date days as we can in.’  

Friends and fans of the beauty were then quick to comment on the stunning snap by saying that Scarlett was ‘glowing’ and that ‘there’s no love like it’.

One fan commented ‘There’s no LOVE like it the moment they put him in ur arms u will know u have something so precious,’ (sic). 

While another added ‘You are glowing babe.’

Earlier this year Scarlett announced she was expecting her first child with her boyfriend Scott.

At the time she took to her Instagram to reveal her jovial news by posting an adorable video of her ultrasound scan.

In the clip, her beloved chihuahua Bonnie could be seen wearing a brown neckerchief with the words ‘I’m going to be a big sister’ printed across it.

And the pooch could be seen sitting beside an ultrasound scan of the unborn child as Scarlett revealed her exciting baby news to her 2.3 million followers.

Alongside the clip, Scarlett gushed it felt like a ‘dream’ to be announcing her pregnancy and admitted she and Scott, 34, were ‘on cloud nine’.

She wrote: ‘It truly feels like a dream writing this caption. Me & Scott are on cloud nine & we are so happy that we get to share this moment with you all. You are so loved already little one. Baby Dobinson coming soon.’

The birth comes after Scarlett celebrated her fourth anniversary with her police officer boyfriend last month.

Marking their anniversary with a sweet Instagram post, Scarlett shared a cosy mirror selfie of herself and her partner.

Alongside the snap, she wrote: ‘Four years we’ve been together & it has gone so quick, yet feels like I’ve been with you my whole life. Me & Bonnie love you all the world @scottdobby #anniversary.’

Scarlett and Scott, who have known each other for more than 15 years, began dating in late 2018 and went public with their relationship in March 2019.

The couple hit a bump in the road in March 2021 when they briefly split up, but got back together just 24 hours after their break-up announcement.
