"When you look at her now it’s hard to imagine how teeny tiny and fragile she was when she was first born. 7 weeks Prem, 4lbs and 1oz but with a fight like no other!! She defied all odds!

"She baffled all the drs, because it had been so touch and go all the way, she just kept fighting! So many times I was taken into hospital with them all thinking her arrival was imminent, but it was like it was on her terms when she made an appearance, she decided, she was the boss!

"Funny enough she’s still like that now! Her spirit and determination is second to none! She’s like a whirlwind, you KNOW when Polly has entered the room!

"Her smile, her laugh, her wicked sense of humour, it’s just captivating." Kym, 45, added: "To sum her up…. She’s a special little lady!"

And she signed off by writing to the birthday girl: "So today Miss Polly we celebrate YOU! You beautiful, funny, talented, crazy, feisty, incredible little girl!

"I am so proud to be your mum! Happy happy birthday sweetheart. I love you always and forever xxx #rainbowbaby."
