Kate and Rio Ferdinand announce they are expecting first child together

Kate and Rio Ferdinand have announced they are having a baby.

The former TOWIE star, 29, and former footballer, 41, revealed the news on social media on Thursday evening.

Kate posted onto her Instagram account: "The crazy house is about to get a little bit crazier.. every time I watch this it makes me cry, the best reaction Baby Ferdy we are all so excited to meet you."

Alongside the message a video was shared by the blonde beauty, where she and Rio could be seen with his children - her step children - Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia, nine.

The family could be seen flicking through a photo album and looking at baby photos before Kate exclaimed: "I am pregnant!"

Proving that the brood cannot wait for the new addition, they could all be seen cheering and jumping about when they found out that a new baby was on the way.

Little Tia shrieked with happiness and started chanting "sister, sister" - revealing that she is keen for Kate to have a girl.

Kate also stood up and rubbed her tiny bump as she glowed with happiness.

Rio posted the same footage onto his page and penned: "We got our wish, another Ferdinand en route!!
@xkateferdinand I can’t wait to go through this whole pregnancy together and then bring our little human into this world .The reaction though."

Kate and Rio tied the knot in a lavish three-day ceremony in Turkey last year.

In February, the step mum opened up about how Rio's three children talk about the pair having a baby "all the time".

Kate admitted she would have a lot to learn on the baby years but she said she's already got parenting five year olds upwards nailed.

She told Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast: "I said to Rio say if we have a baby when they get to five I’m going to be great.

“I know what I’m doing but that baby stage I don’t know.

"The kids talk about having a baby all the time. I said ‘Rio I’ve never changed a nappy, I’ve never had children!”
