Her waters broke on Boxing Day but the star needed to be induced due to testing positive for a Group B strep infection.
The new mother said: 'She arrived on 27 December. Her due date was Christmas Eve. A few weeks prior to that, we had some drama as we got Covid. We had two weeks of worrying that I would go into labour while we had Covid, which would mean Toby wouldn’t have been able to be there.'
Amy explained that whilst it wasn't the birth that she would have liked, they did managed to play a song that they 'love' as Bonnie was born, an 'old classic' that they hope to have as their future wedding song.
