    Sian Welby has got a "new perspective" on life since welcoming her daughter Ruby into the world

    The 'Capital Breakfast' co-presenter and her fiancee Jake Beckett had their first child together in June and, five months on, the star has said the little one is doing really well, and she is enjoying "every moment" of parenthood


    Speaking to BANG Showbiz at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard, the 38-year-old broadcaster admitted: "Like any parent at the minute at this time of the year, she's been ill, she's had a cold, I've been sucking snot - it's not been very glamorous, and I've not had much sleep as normal, and you've still got the 4am alarm for work!

    "However, it's been just amazing, and I've just enjoyed every moment, really - even those tough days, it's just given me a whole new perspective."

    From back in February when she announced she and Jake were expecting Ruby, to the revelation the 'This Morning' guest host underwent an emergency C-section to deliver her baby after a water birth did not go to plan, Sian has kept listeners and fans updated throughout.

    Since then, 'Capital Breakfast' listeners have reached out to the Nottingham-born radio star to ask how Ruby is doing, and she feels the connection between her and co-hosts Jordan North, 34, and Chris Stark, 37, and their fans is akin to a family.

    Sian said: "What's been amazing for me is the listeners from Capital saw me through the whole pregnancy, and then through the birth, and then while I had Ruby, they've been on that journey with me.

    "I honestly, genuinely, get stopped in the lift or in the street, and people ask, 'How's little Ruby?'

    "And it's lovely that people feel like they know me, and they ask after her, and I feel like that's what our show has become - a real family but also like a friendship where people do feel like they know us, and we feel like that about them as well."

    Now five months old, Sian spilled what Ruby likes to do to keep herself occupied.

    When asked what she is really into at the moment, Sian confessed: "The Dancing Fruit - if you know, you know!

    "She just loves bouncing. She's this kid that loves to bounce on anything, she's got a bouncy seat.

    "I'm going to try and get her one of those things that you hang in the door in the way you just spring up and down."
