Natasha Hamilton has revealed the unique name of her fifth baby, much to the delight of her adoring fans.

The Atomic Kitten star is due to give birth any day now, after having "an amazing pregnancy " that has given her "a new calmness".

"My husband can't believe how zen I've been!" she tells OK!, after describing the experience as "enjoyable" and "very laid back." Natasha, 41, is already mum to four children, sons Josh, 20, Harry, 18 and Alfie, 13, as well as an eight-year-old daughter named Ella. Her fifth baby is her first with her husband Charles Gay, whom she met through mutual friends in a pub back in 2016.

Natasha has now revealed the name of the couple's unborn daughter and quashed any association it might have with the iconic English girl band.

Natasha tied the knot with fashion direct Charles, 37, in a lavish wedding at Lake Como in Italy back in 2018. She has now credited her joyful pregnancy to being in a "really happy place" with the successful fashion director. "Marriage has helped," she explained. "When I was younger, things were a lot more chaotic."

Elsewhere in the interview, Natasha explained why she refuses to bow down to pressure to "get back in shape" after pregnancy and birth.

"I’m growing a human, so if I get a big bum, belly and stretch marks I’m honestly not worried," the singer said, before admitting that she had previously been left "exhausted" by the need to look perfect following her first pregnancy over two decades ago.

"When I was younger, I put a lot of pressure on myself to get back in shape and I was back at work with the band six weeks after having had an emergency C-section," Natasha recalled. "I was literally on stage dancing in high heels and wearing three pairs of Spanx and it was soul-destroying."

She added: "I was exhausted and didn’t want to be there," she added. "It was just a horrible experience."

Natasha had her first son, Josh, in August 2002 with Irish businessman Fran Cosgrave. After their breakup, she began dating professional dancer Gavin Hatcher, with whom she welcomed her second son, Harry, on New Year's Eve of 2004. Six years later, Natasha had her third child, Alfie, with consultant Riad Erraji. In 2014, she celebrated the birth of her first daughter, Ella Rose, with Five popstar Ritchie Neville.

Natasha addressed the cruel backlash to having children by different fathers in 2015, admitting that people have said "nasty things" about her unconventional family dynamic in the past.

"I feel I would have been a worse mum staying in relationships which were detrimental to me and my children’s happiness," she added. "Sometimes you have to walk away."
