Singer Jamelia appeared on ITV’s Lorraine earlier this year, where she shared details of her nightmare pregnancy and ‘miracle’ baby. The 37 year old has been part of the music industry since the age of just 15, and is already mother to two children.

She’s released three studio albums and had eight Top 10 singles over the course of her career, but her career has also gone beyond the music industry. She’s been a judge on reality television shows, fronted her own documentaries and been a panelist on the popular daytime TV show Loose Women.
When she appeared on Lorraine, she told viewers about her stressful birth story. Her waters broke at just 23 weeks, and Jamelia was warned that her baby girl might not survive. Doctors moved quickly to put the singer on bed rest, and she was able to carry her baby to 36 weeks – almost full term.

The drama didn’t end there, though. When Jamelia did eventually go into labor, she had to negotiate tricky winter conditions to make it to the hospital. She said: “My eldest daughter had three of her friends over, my husband was at work and ambulance couldn’t get through in the snow – so I had to walk to the train station while I was in labor,
“By that point it was like, remain positive, make a joke out of it. You have to laugh. My daughter’s friends are like, ‘this is our baby too!’”RELATED: What’s So Addictive About Celebrity Talent Shows?
Jamelia is now enjoying new motherhood with her youngest child, named True Winter as a nod to the snowy conditions in which she was born. Jamelia said, “Her name is True. We’ve called her True. The reason I hadn’t revealed the name or gender was I wanted her to meet my nan and grandad first. She only met them this weekend. I had a lovely little girl, another daughter and her name is True and we put Winter in there too as it’s part of the story.”
