Love Island's Jessica Hayes 'over the moon' as she's pregnant with second child

Jessica Hayes has revealed that she is expecting her second child with fiancé Dan Lawry.

The mum-of-one - who found fame after appearing on Love Island five years ago - said she's "over the moon" with the unexpected news.

Jess - who shares 17-month-old son Presley with Dan - has already reached the four-month mark of her pregnancy as she eagerly gears up to become a mum-of-two.

Speaking to new! mag, Jess, 27, revealed: "I was considering going to the doctor when the pandemic started and getting contraception and obviously this happened.

“At first it was a bit like, 'Oh my God, Presley’s only 17 months, can we do this?' But we were over the moon.”

Jess says that the pandemic has brought a completely new challenge on for her and Dan parenting-wise, as like many new parents, they were forced to navigate childcare on their own.

The former reality TV star - who lives in Oxfordshire with her family - said: "It feels strange at the moment, so it’s definitely something to look forward to and get excited about."

Jess revealed that while she always wanted a big family, she didn't see this pregnancy coming.

Jess described the news as "completely unexpected," but adds: "We’re over the moon regardless."

The brunette beauty took to Instagram to announce the exciting news alongside an adorable snap of her cradling her growing bump alongside Dan and their sweet Presley.

She wrote: "Guess 2020 wasn’t so bad after all... Thank you @new_magazine for helping us share our happy news!"

Former Love Island star Cara de la Hoyde wrote: "Congratulations to you all."

While former Ex On The Beach star Chloe Goodman added: "Massive congratulations gorgeous so happy for you all," alongside a heart emoji.
