Viewers will see midwives try forceps and a venthouse delivery to get little Roman into the world.

Rebecca spent an hour pushing before forceps were used, but Roman wasn't in a suitable position to come out.

They tired a venthouse delivery, which involves a suction cup being placed on the baby's head.

After more blood sweat and tears, Roman was finally born at 11.27pm on January 30.

Reflecting on the birth, Marcel says :"I'm absolutely in awe of what I've just witnessed."

A tearful Rebecca says: "I'm actually a mess. I can't believe it. I actually can't feel anything anymore. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life."

The pair were both in tears as they gazed down at their little boy as he was placed on Rebecca's chest.

Marcel says: "I'm so proud of Bex. She's been an absolute Amazon warrior queen, the way she's dealt with every scenario, adapted to the situation and finally got little man out into the world, there's nothing but pride."

The pair have been together for 17 months and suffered a tragic miscarriage early in the relationship.

They said the tragedy has made them a stronger couple, and Marcel has hailed Rebecca his "Wonder Woman".

Celebrity Bumps: Famous and Pregnant continues Wednesdays at 8pm on MTV!
