Thankfully, Nova is one happy and healthy baby and is more than enjoying cuddles from her mummy’s famous pals.
Documenting Vito’s visit, Fleur took to Instagram to share the cutest snaps.
On Sunday (April 7), Fleur joked that Vito – who won Strictly 2023 with Ellie Leach – was Nova’s ‘crazy uncle’.
She added that the two are already thick as thieves.

‘Best friends!’, Fleur sweetly wrote.
Fleur confirmed the safe arrival of her first child last week with a photo showing her out and about with the bundle of joy cuddled into her chest.
‘And just like that, our baby girl, Nova, is here!!’, the singer began in her caption.
‘Our daughter entered the world via squat position into the arms of my Husband and I on our living room floor! 🤣 One day I will share my birth story with you (what a RIDE!), but for now, we are resting and doing well.’
Fleur went on to thank the ‘amazing’ midwives who were ‘by my side’, as well as her birthing partners and family.
‘It really does take a village!’, Fleur exclaimed.
She concluded: ‘So grateful to God for this blessing. Our little Nova was born on the 22nd March and it feels like she’s always been here. ❤️😘🍼✨’
