Imogen Thomas: I had a blow dry before birth so I would look good in my pictures

IMOGEN Thomas says she had a blow dry before giving birth because she wanted to "look OK in my pictures".

The Welsh glamour girl, 30, had her first child — Ariana Siena Horsley — by Caesarean yesterday.

And before going into hospital she says she had her hair done because she didn't want to look "really sweaty and have no bra on" in her post-birth pics.

She says in her Star magazine column this week: "I went for a blow dry before I went into hospital.

"I’ve seen some awful photos of women who have just given birth who look really sweaty and have no bra on.

"I just want to look OK in my pictures."

Imogen was forced to have a C-section because her daughter was in the breech position.

Tweeting after the birth yesterday morning, Imogen gushed: "Ariana is beautiful & perfect. Thanku 2 every1 for all ur well wishes & support.

"This has been the greatest experience & day of our lives x."

Ariana, who weighed 6lb 2oz, is former Big Brother star Imogen's first child with her city trader boyfriend Adam Horsley.
