EastEnders star Kellie Shirley reveals baby boy’s adorable name after giving birth to third child

: “It’s so all-consuming. You’re so full of love – and knackered! – but you get those moments when Ezra does what looks like a smile and you forget that you’ve been up since 3am. It’s just lovely.”

The tot was born at King’s College Hospital in London – the same place the proud parents welcomed their twins – and Kellie said Ezra’s birth was easier than the last time.

“Last time I went to 9cm and caught an infection and it was just so nuts,” she continued, adding: “It was a very different experiencing going in with my bag, knowing he would be born that day.”

Opening up on the birth, Kellie said: “I asked them to put the radio on for the delivery – I didn’t have whale music or anything like that.

“They asked, ‘what radio station do you want?’ and I said ‘whatever you guys want, because I’m going to be pretty much out of it.’

“And he was born to Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black, which is great because I love her so much. I thought ‘what a great song.’”

Kellie starred as Carly in EastEnders from 2006 to 2008 and made a brief comeback in 2012.

Since leaving the soap Kellie has gone on to appear in a string of shows including Death in Paradise and Ridley.
