Natasha Kaplinsky and husband Justin Bower have rejected a £500,000 magazine deal for the first pictures of their baby boy.

Five News announced yesterday that the anchor had given birth at a London hospital.

A source revealed to the Daily Mail that the 36-year-old had been approached by a number of magazines but had turned down their offers.

Instead, she is expected to release an image in the next few days.

A spokeswoman for the Strictly Come Dancing winner said: "They are both thrilled. Mother and baby are doing fine."

Kaplinsky is being covered by Matt Barbet and Isla Traquair while she takes maternity leave.
