Rosie became a mum for the first time in August when she welcomed her baby daughter, Billie. The first-time mum has shared plenty of snaps of her newborn and shared a new one for Christmas.

Billie was all wrapped up in a red onesie as she gazed at the mountain of presents and a Christmas tree that carried an ornament in the shape of a 'B'. Captioning the post, Rosie shared: "The most magical day for Billie's first Christmas, feeling very lucky. Hope everyone has had the best time."
