Baby joy for jilted bride who found true love...

-

A JILTED bride who finally found her happy ending after travelling the world when her wedding was called off has shared beautiful pictures of her baby daughter.

Former Manchester Airport press officer Katy Colins, 32, quit her job and left her Stockport home with a one-way ticket after her wedding was called off by university sweetheart Thom Soutter almost five years ago.

Katy became Britain’s most famous jilted bride when the story of her cancelled nuptials and subsequent solo travels around the world went viral.

She then secured a five-book deal for her series of best-selling novels inspired by her time overseas.

And in a wonderful twist of fate, she fell in love with the journalist who first wrote about her exploits.

She married John Siddle, 31, in a low-key ceremony in Coventry in January and then revealed that the couple were expecting a baby in the late spring.

Katy has now shared the first pictures of the couple’s sevenweek-old daughter, Everleigh Gray Siddle.

Sharing the news she said: “From that very first solo travel trip as a broken-hearted backpacker, no-one could have predicted how the next four-anda-half years would pan out.

“I can show off this little lump of loveliness who has changed my world forever. My daughter, Everleigh Gray.”
