TOMMY-Jack Lovelock was the first baby born at the Chippenham Community Hospital on Christmas Day.

Weighing in at 2750 grammes (6lbs 1oz), he arrived at 8am, and was whisked home just over three hours later.

Proud mum Chloe Reeves, 24, and her fiance, Gary Lovelock, 40, of Quemerford in Calne, said they were "over the moon" with their baby.

Chloe added: "It's all a bit surreal. It's the best Christmas present I've ever had.

"He's my first child and Gary's fourth. He already has three other boys, Alfie, 12, and twins Archie and George, 10."

Tommy-Jack was due to arrive on December 30 but came early on Christmas Day after Chloe went into labour on Sunday.

"I was handling the pain really well so my mum and Gary didn't let me go into hospital until 4.30am on Christmas Day," said Chloe.

The couple named the baby Tommy after Gary's father and Jack after Chloe's grandfather. He also has a middle name Mark, after Chloe's father.
