Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman has given birth to a her first child, a baby boy called Rudy Brae Bowman Smith.

Mother and baby are fine and baby Rudy weighs in at 6lb and 9ozs and has "very long legs".

The 33-year-old has been dating Editors' lead singer Tom Smith since 2005.

Bowman hosts the station's weekday slot from 1pm-4pm, and presents much of Radio 1's festival coverage including Glastonbury and Big Weekend.

While Bowman is on maternity leave her show is being fronted by a series of guest DJs, including Nihal.

In March 2005, Bowman was crowned the winner of Celebrity Fame Academy, with more than 10 million people watching her victory on BBC One's Comic Relief.

She joined Radio 1 in 2003 and initially co-presented her current show with Colin Murray.

Before working at Radio 1, Bowman co-presented MTV's Hitlist UK with Cat Deeley as well as Capital FM's Cat and Edith's Hit Music Sunday.

Congratulations to Edith and Tom, I'm not sure about the name, hopefully it'll grow on me.

Congratulations Edith

Isnt it strange with all the names she could have chosen shes chosen really odd ones? I wonder if they mean anything? I spose Edith herself has a really distinctive first name so why not give her baby the same?

[Jono]

i have been out this afternoon & haven't heard it.

Didn't she leave an answerphone message? How inconsiderate. I'm sure she'll pop round for a cuppa tomorrow after her session at the gym.

She could have called it Iain Bowman Smith! Or not...

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

"(...) and has very long legs" I love that. Useful info Congratulations Edith and Tom! Good news.

[Jessica Lares]

[Mike]

According to The Mail, Edith and baby are doing fine, despite Edith's heart complications.

[TheCooperScooper]

Woo-ey. Well done. She's good mother material

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

I don't remember making this thread! Anyway, congratulations I love Edith and Tom.

[TheCooperScooper]

[Jono]

It was split from it's original thread. Otherwise we get the dopey people asking why they weren't informed Edith had given birth.
