Samantha Barks, the renowned stage and movie performer, has just welcomed her first child to the world. She's best known for playing Eponine in Les Miserables and Elsa in the West End production of Disney's Frozen.
Just a few days before the launch of her new reality series, the 32-year-old revealed the news of her pregnancy with husband Alex Stoll. She chose to do so with a board featuring the due date nestled in a white basket, alongside a fluffy sheep toy and tiny socks. In addition, a short video was shared by the couple which showed the ultrasound picture.
The couple just recently announced the arrival of their son, Rafael Richard Barks-Stoll, who was born on the 16th of October. Samantha shared the news with a black and white photo of her holding her son's hand, accompanied by a touching caption.
"Welcome Rafael Richard Barks-Stoll, born on 16th October. My heart could burst with happiness," she wrote.
The exciting addition to her family comes at a perfect time as her brand new reality talent series Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream is set to launch in a few days. As one of the four judges, Samantha will be joined by Alan Carr, Jessie Ware, and Amber Riley. The show will involve the contestants being mentored by guest industry stars and judged by a panel of well-known industry experts in music and theatre. Most of the series has already been recorded in Greece, with the live finale taking place in London.
