Laura Whitmore has confirmed that she and Iain Stirling are expecting their first child together.
The Love Island presenter shared the wonderful news with her Instagram followers amid rumours she and her beau tied the knot in a secret ceremony during lockdown.
She said: "So I’ve always tried to be protective over the personal side of my life. A lot of things are just for me and my loved ones and we’ve chosen not to share publicly.
"However I want to now share good news as it’s our news to share - and I’m gonna be honest it’s starting to look like my lock down beer belly is out of control.
"Iain and I are expecting a baby early 2021. It’s been hard to keep such happy news quiet.
"Especially the times when I’ve had to run out of live radio to get sick in a bin or my penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning.
"I wasn’t hungover like everyone thought. In fact I was completely sober filming the entire series of Celeb Juice, which is quite the accolade!
"We’d appreciate our privacy respected but just wanted to spread some love and a reminder of the beauty of life."
The celebrity couple reportedly tied the knot with a tiny Dublin ceremony, in line with Covid rules.
But the Irish beauty hit back this morning before announcing her baby news saying she will share her "personal news" herself.
Laura tweeted: "Little thought of the day... If and when I ever have personal news I want to share, I will be the one to share it."
The Love Island stars reportedly tied the knot quietly in a humanist ceremony at Dublin's City hall on November 11.
Last year, the broadcaster and actress revealed she suffered a miscarriage in the past, weeks after discovering she was pregnant.
In a personal essay for Hot Press magazine, she detailed her shock at discovering she was expecting her first child, the difficulty hiding her pregnancy, and the moment the doctor told her the baby didn't have a heartbeat during a scan.
