Hampstead and Kilburn MP Tulip Siddiq has voiced her delight after the arrival of her “perfect little girl”.

The 33-year-old gave birth to baby Azalea Joy Percy at the Royal Free Hospital on Friday.

She is pictured with husband Chris Percy and the tiny new arrival.

They said: “We wish to offer our deepest thanks and gratitude to the kind and experienced midwives, consultants and doctors who helped at every step of the way.

“As with many new arrivals, we have experienced challenges during the pregnancy, the birth and afterwards.

“In all cases, staff at the Royal Free took the time to explain our options and support us expertly – day and night.”

And they continued: “We both felt reassured and safe and we could not be more thrilled with our perfect little girl.”
