Nicole Kidman accidentally revealed the first picture of her four-month-old daughter during an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's talk show.


The 41-year-old actress - who gave birth to Sunday Rose, her first child with husband Keith Urban, in July - was unaware The Oprah Winfrey Show had returned to air from its commercial break when Nicole showed the talk show host an intimate photograph of her daughter sleeping.

As soon as the Oscar-winning star realised her mistake, she decided to show the photograph - which depicted her laying alongside her tot - to the rest of the audience.

The picture is the first released image of Sunday, after Nicole and Keith decided to reject the many offers they received from magazines desperate to get their hands on the exclusive pictures of the child.

A source close to the couple said: "They don't think it's appropriate to make deals. They are still deciding how they feel about it."

Nicole recently revealed it was special Australian "fertility water" - from the town of Kununurra, West Australia, where she was filming new movie Australia - which helped her conceive.

Nicole - who also has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise - said: "I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child but it happened on this movie.

"Seven babies were conceived out of this film and only one was a boy. There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now."
