Big Brother's Grace and Mikey expecting fourth child and say people think they are mad

Former Big Brother stars Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton are celebrating the news they are expecting their fourth child.

The duo shot to fame back in 2006 on the hit Channel 4 reality TV series.

And after finding love on – and after the show – the pair will now become happy parents to another child after revealing Grace is pregnant again.

The couple already have three kids, daughter Georgiana Slone, nine, son Spencer Michael, five, and daughter Allegra Portia, three.

But now they are understandably thrilled with the news that they are going to be parents all over again.

“People think we're mad to have a fourth, and maybe we are,” joked Grace in an exclusive interview with OK! magazine “But we couldn't be happier. It's been a pretty good pregnancy, when you spend all day running around after the kids, you don't have time to think about anything else, they've kept me more than occupied.

“We're all delighted and can't wait to meet our new little one!"

The couple revealed their new arrival is due on the 9 th of January next year and they are not going to find out the sex of the baby until it comes to Grace giving birth.

And she revealed the she would ideally like a “water birth like I did with the other three”.

The pair had not been trying for another maybe and so were “shocked” when they first discovered the news.

But that initial surprise quickly turned to delight as the loving parents revelled in their excitement.

“I think Mikey thought there would have been more practising!” joked Grace.

“We knew we wanted another baby so we started trying but it happened quickly so we were both shocked at how fast it happened.”

Grace and Mikey famously wed in 2009 in a sweet ceremony and have based their family home in Liverpool where they run a dance school.

It didn’t take long for the loved-up coupe to get engaged, just four months in fact after meeting on Big Brother.

And their blossoming romance is still going strong 15 years after first finding fame on the show.

TV bosses revisited previous romances on the show and many fans were delighted to discover the pair were still together and very much in love.
