One Born Every Minute

Naomi (32) is glamorous and likes to look a bit fake. She compares herself to Jordan the glamour model (without the fake breasts). She’s been a hairdresser for 16 years and has run her own business for the last five. She’s known Jason (37) since they were teenagers and they’ve had an on and off relationship over the years. But now Naomi’s pregnant Jason says it’s changed their relationship and they’re committed to a stable partnership. But there’s also another woman in Naomi’s life, her mother Maria who’s like a Goddess” says Naomi. She’s “the most amazing, sweetest, beautiful person with a wicked sense of humour” says Naomi and they even live next door to each other. From Jason’s point of view “it’s like having two partners” he says. When Bianca (23) discovered she was pregnant she was “gobsmacked”. It was a couple of days after her 22nd birthday and she was enjoying the time of her life. She wasn’t sure whether to carry on having fun or settle down. She finally decided to buck her ideas up and have the baby even though the father wouldn’t be involved. Her sister Tanya (23) says Bianca won’t be a single-mum because “she’ll have me”- we’re best friends and sisters and “I will be there for her”. Izzy James is her midwife who jokingly admits that she had her sights set on being a super-model when she was very young. But at the age of 14 decided being a midwife was more realistic. Shannon (18) met Dale (18) on a Saturday night out in Leeds and they got together. They were both 17 when she told people she was having a baby with Dale. “People said we were too young and it wouldn’t work”, she says. Her mum cried and said you’ve messed up your life you should be going to university. But she and Dale seem happy together. Shannon has some regrets about not going to University and Dale says he wants to join the navy in five years. Dale cries at the birth and says being a father will transform him from a boy in to a man.
