Kate Ferdinand shares first baby update 10 weeks after daughter's birth and details health scare with 'days' apart

Kate Ferdinand has shared her first big update on her baby daughter ten weeks after she was born. The former The Only Way is Essex star has kept a low profile since giving birth to her second child with her former footballer husband Rio Ferdinand.

Kate and Rio announced the arrival of their second child together on Instagram on July 16, revealing they have called their daughter Shae who was born days earlier on July 10.

At the time of their devastating loss, the reality TV personality shared a black and white photo on Instagram showing herself wearing a hospital gown and explained to her followers how she was admitted to hospital after a routine scan failed to detect her baby's heartbeat.
