One Born Every Minute

This week on One Born Every Minute, two first-time mums both strong willed give birth at the LGI. Alexandra (25) prefers to be called Sasha and is fiercely independent. She’s naming her baby boy ‘Rupert’ after the actor Rupert Everett,” because he’s so handsome”. She left her native Latvia in search of adventure and ended up in Leeds. The baby’s father isn’t in the picture anymore and Sasha wants to go it alone. Although her family are worried about her being so far away, she feels this baby is the missing piece in her life. Surbhi is from the warrior Hindu caste and a woman who knows what she wants. Her husband, Kaushik who’s from a caste of philosophers will do anything to please her. They met when she heard him singing in the shower in the flat below and was immediately attracted. He’s was 20 minutes late for their first date and he has never quite made up for it. More sadly he feels responsible for a motorcycle accident that left Surbhi paralysed in one arm so the baby promises fresh beginnings for them both.
