TOWIE star Clelia Theodorou welcomes first child just months after tragic accident

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Clelia Theodorou has welcomed her first child, just months after being involved in a horrific car accident that sadly killed her mum.

Taking to Instagram, Clelia's boyfriend Tommy Cole revealed that the couple had welcomed their 'little miracle' two weeks early. Posting a sweet snap of their family, the couple shared the lovely news that their baby girl is called Cielo Elizabeth Cole.

Tommy wrote: 'The moment we were desperately waiting for came 2 weeks and 2 days early on September 16th 2023 at 6.53pm and we couldn't be happier. Mummy and Daddy's little miracle, Cielo Elizabeth Cole decided enough was enough and she was ready to meet us!' (sic)

He then went on to share his admiration for his partner Clelia, who he described as a 'real life superwoman'. Tommy added: 'The respect I have for @cleliatheodorou is immense. She managed to deliver her naturally with just gas and air in a few hours. A real life superwoman. Both Mum & Baby are doing so well.'

Several stars took to the comments section to congratulate Clelia and Tommy on their happy news.

Love Island star Olivia Attwood wrote: 'Already so in love with her, so proud of you both.' TOWIE's Georgia Kousoulou said: 'Aww congratulations you two.' Ferne McCann added: 'Congratulations'.

28-year-old Clelia was involved in a tragic car accident back in May. Her mum sadly died in the crash, with Clelia being left with terrible injuries and requiring three surgeries.

Paying tribute to her mum, Clelia said: "I will always make sure they know how much you already loved them and I promise they will always know they had the strongest, most caring, hilarious, giving and loving Nan they could ever have dreamt of.

"I go through multiple emotions on a daily basis and the road to my recovery physically is a long one, but our miracle baby gives me so much hope and I will do everything I can to be even half the mum to my baby that my mum was to me."
