Hugh Hanley "accidentally" filmed Michelle Heaton giving birth to their baby boy last month.
The Liberty X singer welcomed her son Aaron Jay - known as AJ - into the world on February 28 and proud father Hugh began recording the special moment when the doctor called him over to where he had been carrying out a caesarian section, thinking he was about to capture their little boy's first minutes on film.
To his surprise, Hugh, who presumed they had the baby "out" found medical staff were still assisting in "plucking him out".
Michelle explained to Britain's OK! magazine: "Within two minutes [of the epidural] AJ was born at 8.49am. Hugh's got the video to prove it..."
He added: "By mistake. Michelle was stuck lying there and she couldn't see, so I had the camera ready. The doctor said, 'Hugh, are you ready?' and I presumed they had him out, but when I went over they were just plucking him out so I've got that moment on video."
Hugh then sent the video to his mother via mobile messaging service What'sApp, much to Michelle's horror.
She added: "Have you ever seen a whale being cut open? ... We didn't realise how graphic it was. I'm OK with blood and guts but Hugh What'sApp'd it to his mum by mistake. I was like 'Delete it now, before she sees it, it's too much'."
Michelle was overcome with happiness and emotion when she first held AJ and the pair - who already have two-year-old daughter Faith - admitted there were tears on "both sides".
She added: "It was hard - I couldn't hold him because they were still operating on me and stapling me up, so I stroked his face and burst into tears."
Asked who cried more, Hugh explained: "Michelle, as always, but there were tears on both sides."

Nicolas Cage says it "sucks to be famous right now".
The 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' star recalls being inspired by the late James Dean after watching him on 1955's drama 'Rebel Without a Cause' and 'East of Eden', and insists the American actor's talent made him want to join the film industry.
The 50-year-old actor is disappointed that fame has changed since then as there are people who are "famous for famous' sake" now.
Talking at the South by Southwest festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas on Monday (10.03.14), Cage said: "I started acting because I wanted to be James Dean. I saw him in 'Rebel Without a Cause', 'East of Eden'. Nothing affected me -- no rock song, no classical music -- the way Dean affected in 'Eden.' It blew my mind. I was like, 'That's what I want to do.'
"This was before everyone had a thing called a Smartphone, and before the advent of the 'celebutard' -- just being famous for famous' sake. I'm not complaining, but it really sucks to be famous right now."
Cage will next hit the big screen in crime thriller 'Tokarev' alongside Rachel Nichols.

Gawker is urging a federal court to drop Quentin Tarantino's 'Hateful Eight' lawsuit.
The website - which stands accused of copyright infringement by linking to a leaked script of the director's upcoming cowboy film, which he has since been forced to scrap - now claims the lawsuit should be dismissed because Tarantino hasn't cited actual copyright infringement, only "contributory" factors.
According to Variety.com, they said in a motion to dismiss filed in US District Court in Los Angeles on Monday (10.03.14) that the lawsuit "does no more than raise the possibility that some member of the public who accessed plaintiff's script using Gawker's link subsequently violated Tarantino's rights by committing an infringement.
"Because plaintiff did not allege any facts showing that an infringing act actually was undertaken by a third party - merely accessing the script by clicking on the link is legally insufficient - plaintiff did not state a claim for contributory infringement."
Gawker also claims that linking to an online version of the script was fair us because it hadn't "reproduced" the material.
They said: "Gawker made minimal use of the script - it reproduced no part of it but merely linked to another publication. Gawker's use was, at most, incidentally commercial and did not usurp the primary market for and purpose of the script: to make a movie."
The Oscar-winning 'Django Unchained' director decided to pull the plug on the movie and is demanding at least $1 million in damages for Gawker's actions.
He said he had only given the script for 'The Hateful Eight' to six people and believes one of them must have let their agent see it, who subsequently sent it on.
District Judge John Walter has scheduled a hearing in the case for April 14.

Taylor Swift has been named 'Top Money Maker' of 2013 by Billboard. The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer earned $39.7m from a combination of music sales, royalties, and touring last year, with the large sum placing her ahead of Beyonce, Justin Timber...

Pixie Lott wants to start her own record label.
The 'Nasty' singer, who has launched her own talent night in London, is looking to follow in the footsteps of 'X Factor' boss Simon Cowell as she coaches undiscovered artists and helps to link them up with professionals in the music industry.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "Mainly it's about new artists getting out there, 'cause it's hard when you don't really know anyone. I get really excited hearing new people, especially if it's amazing."
Pixie went on: "I kind of know a bit about the way this industry works after being in it for a few years. I think in the future it would be amazing to have my own label.
"I look for amazing singers. I wouldn't be bothered to have to market, like, a band that can't sing or something, I get motivated by good singers."
The blonde beauty, who has returned to music after a break, is also back to being a regular on the celebrity party scene but admits it's not always glamorous.
She explained: "I was at a party and Roll Deep were on the table next to me.
"Next thing I knew one of the boys from the band stood up and was sick all over me, it was terrible.
"I had to go to the toilet, take my long socks off and throw them in the bin."
But the 23-year-old star laughed it off and insists she can't wait to attend more parties after the release of her self-titled third album in May, the follow-up to 2011's 'Young Foolish Happy'.
Pixie likes singing about heartbreak and showing passion and emotion through her songs, despite being in a long-term relationship with model Oliver Cheshire, 25.
She said: "Even though I'm really happy, I think that as I've experience being in a relationship I can relate to being passionate and being sad, or how it would feel if it broke off," adding, "So I can relate to that more than I would have done before."

Cheryl Cole is "very happy and excited" about returning to 'The X Factor' later this year.
The 30-year-old star will reclaim her role as a judge on the ITV talent show for its twelfth series later this year, after confirming the rumours on her Instagram account, and she's now spoken out about her long awaited return.
She said: "I'm very happy and excited to be returning to The X Factor. I'm inspired and ready to find new talent and potential pop stars. It's going to be a fun series."
The 'Call My Name' hitmaker - who led Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry to victory in 2008 and 2009 respectively - left the show in 2010 to judge on the US version alongside Simon Cowell, but after she failed to impress American audiences she was axed and had a public falling out with the media mogul.
Simon - who is also returning as a judge later this year - made no secret of the fact he wanted the brunette beauty back and is thrilled she's now agreed to return.
He said: "I am so happy that Cheryl has agreed to join The X Factor again. The last time we worked together in the UK was incredible and produced some really successful artists. Obviously the plan is to do the same again... so it's back to work!"
It has so far not been confirmed as to who will take up the remaining two judges seats but the new series is set to return later this year.

David Beckham is facing opposition over his plans for a stadium for his new soccer team.
The retired sportsman is launching a Major League Soccer (MLS) team in Miami and had been eyeing a 12-acre site in Port Miami to build a 25,000-40,000 seat arena, but as well as facing competition for the prestigious land, Royal Caribbean Cruises - who also want to develop the site - have objected to the plans due to traffic concerns and fears their parking lot, daycare centre and staff gym would have to relocate to accommodate the project.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "The land Beckham wants is very coveted. The cruise lines want the land, the city wants the land, and developers want the land, so there is definitely going to have to be a lot of politics involved. Beckham is doing a big push for that site, but he's far from getting it."
Local officials are also said to have some concerns after previously allowing Major League Baseball side Miami Marlins to build their stadium in another prime location, only for the area to be hit with poor attendance figures.
The source added: "The city previously gave up a prime site for Marlins Park, they even made the taxpayers pay for it, and it turned into a failure because of poor attendance."
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has also insisted the stadium project must include public amenities.
Basketball star LeBron James is rumoured to be considering investing in the team, with there also speculation David - who has four children with wife Victoria - must secure other local investors.
The 38-year-old soccer star's main partner Bolivian billionaire Marcelo Claure, owner of telecommunications firm Brightstar Corp, has now received approval as an MLS owner.
A spokesperson for David said: "MLS have 100 percent approved Marcelo as partner. His involvement has been contractually signed off by the commissioner. Secondly, Port of Miami is one of many sites we are looking at. We have many options."

Katy Perry, One Direction and Ed Sheeran are among 100 artists offering free concert tickets to UK fans in a bid to help global poverty.
The pop stars have signed up to the Global Poverty Project and Global Citizen Tickets initiative, which encourages fans to build up points for actions they take to combat extreme hardship and then exchange their points to buy tickets for gigs and festivals.
Katy said: "This is a simple, smart, modern initiative with potential for huge impact.
"Global Citizen provides people with doable opportunities to make the world a better place, and rewards them for doing so."
The scheme already runs in Australia, New Zealand and America and will launch in the UK soon.
Emma Banks, chair of the UK Global Citizen Tickets initiative committee, said: "The Global Citizen Tickets initiative in the UK marks the culmination of a tremendous amount of hard work and foresight.
"I have no doubt that we will match the successes that this initiative has already enjoyed in the USA, something that could only have been achieved by our industry uniting for this very worthwhile cause."
Other acts to sign up include Kings of Leon, Jessie J, Neil Young, McBusted, Arcade Fire, and Katy's ex-husband Russell Brand, as well as a number of UK festivals, including Reading and Leeds, Lovebox and Bestival.
Each ticket will have a different points value, and those with enough points are entered into a lottery to try and secure a pass.
Points can be earned from activities including volunteering with charities or contacting local MPs.
Global Citizen aims to help 1.2 billion people worldwide suffering from extreme poverty, as well as looking to improve gender equality, access to primary education, and the life expectancy of children.

Lindsay Lohan partied for two days at Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont this weekend.
The 27-year-old star - who has been to rehab six times - has insisted she has given up drinking, but headed for the nightspot on Friday (07.03.14), and stayed there until the following morning, before heading to a party and then returning to the famed venue until late on Sunday (09.03.14).
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Lindsay started on Friday night at the cocktail bar at the Beverley Hills Hotel, before moving on to the Chateau.
"She was out in the garden until early in the morning and then the group moved on to a house party in the Hollywood Hills. Literally hours later she back in party mode at the Chateau again."
The hotel lifted its ban on Lindsay in 2012 after she was blacklisted for failing to pay a $46,000 bill - which she racked up buying cigarettes, mini-bar goodies and candles.
The actress was recovering as fans watched the first episode of her eight-part reality series 'Lindsay' on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network on Sunday, in which she claimed she has now found "inner peace" and wants to change her lifestyle.
She has also said: "There's no party that I haven't gone to, there's no person that I haven't hung out with, there's no situation that I haven't been exposed to.
"There's nothing left in having a drink for me."

Drake and Rihanna have been acting like a "loved-up couple" behind closed doors.
The 'Take Care' rapper is rumoured to have rekindled his romance with the Bajan beauty - who he was first linked to in 2009 - and though they have mostly kept their union private, they were spotted out together in London restaurant Nobu together on Saturday (08.03.14), where they walked in "hand in hand", before joining a group of friends for dinner.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Rihanna and Drake walked through Nobu hand in hand and sat down with a couple of friends for a meal.
"She looked completely at ease in Drake's company and he had his arm around her as they sat. They were behaving very much like a loved-up couple."
The pair were first spotted out together when Rihanna joined Drake at Soixante Dix Neuf nightclub in Paris last month, where Drake was making a personal appearance for the venue's first anniversary, and they were also seen together in Amsterdam last week.
However, the 27-year-old rapper has insisted he and the 'Diamonds' hitmaker are not dating, though he admits he does "think about" it.
He said recently: "I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man that would be good.' We have fun together. She's cool and s**t. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."

Robbie Williams "doesn't want to upset" Gary Barlow by saying no to a Take That reunion.
The 40-year-old singer - who reunited with his former band in 2010 for their sixth album 'Progress' - is said to be worried about upsetting Gary, who he's had differences with in the past, and isn't sure he's ready to focus completely on Take That rather than his solo material.
A source revealed: "Robbie isn't against the idea, although he doesn't really have time this year to commit to Take That, although they have collaborated on compositions.
"He also doesn't want to upset Gary, given that they patched up their differences and are as close as ever."
The 'Let Me Entertain You' hitmaker has reportedly suggested to Gary, 43, that they take things slow by working on material together - along with fellow bandmates Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - for now, and then discussing a world tour at a later date.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "He's suggested recording together, seeing how that goes then embarking on a world tour in 2015."
Gary himself is preparing to kick-off his own solo tour with dates in cities including Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Manchester starting later this month, and Take That are already back in the studio working on a new album which is expected to be released later this year.
