Love Island star Montana Brown has shared the name of her baby after welcoming a daughter.
Along with a picture of the adorable newborn, named Miley, the star said: "Miley O’Connor - no surprises you came storming into the world unapologetically and making an entrance. I am going to do a birth vlog to share how she arrived into the world.
"Miley was breeched my whole pregnancy and she did not turn which meant I had a bit of a task on my hands to try and have my home birth as it was quite difficult to get the support to have a physiological v. birth with her being flexed. Most importantly she’s here safe and sound and we couldn’t be happier."
Fans and friends rushed to the comment section to coo over the adorable baby, with one user writing: "Oh wow look!!! Utterly perfect, huge congratulations," and another posting: "Smiley miley I love you already." One person commented: "Congratulations lovely - what a beautiful little lady."
Montana first announced the news last week. She welcomed the baby girl with her fiancé Mark O'Connor. This is their second child together, after Montana became a mother 17 months ago with their son Jude. Over the weekend, Montana revealed Miley arrived early and said: "Look who decided to show up early.

This comes after Montana shared her plans to have a home birth despite her baby being breech. The Love Island star was being advised to have a C-section but she claimed that this was due to "inexperienced" NHS midwives who were 'lacking training'.
Speaking on a TikTok video, Montana explained why she was going to use a private midwife to aid a home birth. The reality star explained: "So we are obviously nearing D-Day and she is still breech and for me, my mindset is on a home birth and It's really hard to find people who are supportive of a home birth especially in my position of having a breech baby. Which has been really really tricky because if you speak to midwives who are a little bit older and have had their training, they are quite confident at birthing breech babies because from what I've heard it's just a different form of vaginal delivery."
Montana added: "Yes there are risks but as there are with any birth and there are certain things you look out for and certain positions that are better in order to make sure that the baby is delivered in a safe environment. The hospital I am with, who have been incredibly supportive and have given me a lot of different options, are very against me giving birth at home and also if she continues to stay in the same positions that she has been which is footling breech, they have completely advised me to not give birth vaginally and have given me the option to book in for an elliptical [C-section].
"But a lot of the midwives that have been trained a lot more and have a lot of experience in delivery vaginal breach birth are not concerned about me giving birth at home so yeah there is a lot of conflict."
