The talented producer shared a snapshot showing her holding up a blue and white striped party hat, complete with a blue pom pom and the number one in gold glitter.

"Every now and again you hear noises and you go, 'What's that noise?', And then you go, 'Oh, that's my child!'" he confessed. The new dad added that they were in "that sort of lovely foggy period of just, kind of sleepless love".
Dermot and Dee have been married since 2012
It was Dermot who first revealed their son's name, just a few days after the little boy's birth. Speaking on his BBC radio show, the 47-year-old told listeners: "My lovely son came into the world ten days ago accompanied by Guy Garvey's Elbow. So forgive this moment of brief self-indulgence while we play the song that accompanied that."
Revealing the name, he added: "This is for you Kasper with a K - my wife is very insistent on that. Kasper Koppang O'Leary welcome to the world!"
The happy couple became first-time parents last year
Dee and Dermot announced the birth of their son by sharing a photo of a white onesie printed with the legend: "Koppang O'Leary productions Est 2020," which had a sweet brown rabbit toy next to it.
Dee captioned the sweet picture: "Welcome to the world baby Koppang O'Leary... We're delighted to announce that we've had a baby! A little boy born on Tuesday 23rd June 2020 (Sankthansaften/Midsummer for us Norwegians) at 8.19 am, weighing in at 6lb 13oz. Enjoying the cuddles in the newborn bubble... cats yet to be 100% convinced. Lots of love, Dee & Dermot."
