Sam Quek gives birth to baby girl as she shares cute pic of daughter holding her finger
OLYMPIAN Sam Quek has given birth to a baby girl.
The former I'm A Celeb star shared a cute picture of her daughter holding onto her finger on Instagram.
She accompanied it with her date of birth: "02.03.2021"
Her star pals congratulated her, including Rebecca Adlington, who gave birth to her baby son today.
In November Sam revealed she was six months pregnant with a baby girl.
She and husband Tom Mair's announcement came just months after they went through a devastating miscarriage.
In an interview withe, Sam, 32, said: "It’s been quite surreal because we’ve kept it private.
“Being able to talk about it, it now feels real. I’m really, really excited."
The couple, who wed two years ago, had kept their miscarriage secret but now feel the time is right to raise awareness.
At the turn of last year, after a year of trying, the couple found out Sam was five-weeks pregnant.
But another five-weeks later the couple were left devastated when Sam miscarried.
Remembering the painful time, Sam - who won gold as part of the Team GB hockey team in 2016 - said: "I didn’t want to speak to anyone. I had guilt and shame that it was my fault.
"I was looking back at everything I did during pregnancy and replaying every single minute.

"I put it all on me and my body. But I never said that to Tom at the time."
The pair had a huge row three months later that cleared the air and led them to try for a baby again.
Lockdown came as a blessing for the pair, who saw their schedules free up as they reconnected at home.
