A HAMPSHIRE mum had an early Easter surprise - when her baby boy arrived as she stood in the middle of the road.

Little Bailey Emm made a shock appearance as mum Shelley took a taxi to hospital after going into labour at home.

But within minutes of leaving her Southampton house it became clear they were not going to make it and as she clambered out of the car the 6lb 6oz bundle of joy arrived - in her trousers.

Husband Donald held the baby while paramedics gave him advice over the phone as he knelt in the middle of busy Winchester Road.
