Lucy, Tiffany and Binky all posed together in one snap as they held their babies and beamed for the camera.
Binky looked stunning in a pale green dress as she doted on her three children at the party.
Sharing some snaps from the day on her social media she penned in the caption: ‘Wilders first birthday party!!!
‘His actual birthday isn’t until Monday but we started celebrations early with a little party at home. Thank you Sun!!!!… PHEW☀️
‘My feet are up, my curry is en route & my kids are refusing to go to bed because of the sugar rush & all the fun… All in all, a good sign of a pretty glorious day me thinks!!’
It comes after earlier this month Lucy revealed she was faced with a ‘life-or-death decision’ after her baby son became tangled in his own umbilical cord during the final months of her pregnancy.
She welcomed son Willoughby – her first child with husband James – in March, but later described the birthing process as ‘long, with complications.’
Lucy has since shared her birth story in a lengthy social medial post, admitting she opted for private consultant-led care over the National Health Service as she went through the various stages of pregnancy.

‘I didn’t have a birth plan at all, I was just trusting in my consultant – I thought she was amazing,’ the TV personality told TikTok followers on Monday.
‘I always said to her from the beginning, whatever is safest, I don’t care what I do. I don’t care if I do pain relief, I don’t care if I do caesarean or vaginal birth, whatever is safest for me and the baby is what I’m happy to do.’
She added: ‘I did say the one thing I really didn’t want was an emergency C-section. I didn’t want to ever be in the position where I was in an emergency scenario. That was my one thing that I really didn’t want.’
But Lucy’s worst-case scenario became a reality after a routine 39-week scan revealed the baby’s umbilical cord had wrapped itself around his head.
The TV personality was advised to check into hospital the following day and was given two choices – be induced or submit to a C-section.
A second scan the following morning confirmed the cord was no longer wrapped around the child’s head, meaning his passage through the vaginal canal would be less risky.
Encouraged by the news, Lucy- who had already been contracting for more than a week – opted for a conventional birth.
She recalled: ‘They broke my waters, not fun… I was gushing fluid for four hours, and not just a little bit, I was gushing bucket-loads of fluid. I don’t even know where it was coming from but every time I moved there would be a gush.’
After contracting for six hours without pain relief she opted for an epidural after being told she was still only five centimeters dilated.
Fifteen hours into labour the child’s head had emerged from her cervix, but was swollen and Willoughby was unable to force his way through.
‘It got to the point where his heart rate was really high,’ said Lucy. ‘I was exhausted, the alarms were going off in the hospital, in our room, you could tell everyone was really worried.

Lucy and James both looked every inch the doting parents as they posed with their son in a black and white snap – when they initially revealed the joyful birth news
‘The alarm was going off for a while and they came in and said we need to get him out, he’s not in a good way, he’s in distress. It’s a life or death situation and we need to get him out now, we need to do an emergency caesarean.’
Watson admitted it initially crossed her mind that she might lose her son, and credited husband James for being her rock throughout the ordeal.
‘James was incredible,’ she said. ‘He didn’t leave my side at any point. He was with me and talking to me and comforting me the whole time.’
The influencer announced in September 2023 she was pregnant with their first child and called the baby a ‘little miracle’ after a three-year battle to conceive.
