What did Michelle McManus post on her Instagram last year?

Posting a picture of the family of three on New Year’s Eve 2020, Michelle wrote: “So goodbye 2020 and what a year you’ve been. Most folk won’t remember you fondly, your wicked plans could not be foreseen. However, for me, it’s a different memory from 2020 I’ll carry. It’s the year our lives became complete. It’s the year that gave us you Harry.”

Following the birth of Harry, Michelle took to Instagram to thank the staff at Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow after a ‘challenging’ pregnancy. As a type 1 diabetic, her pregnancy was expected to be a little more challenging, but there were no complications.
