Pop Idol's Michelle McManus announces she's pregnant with first child at 39

Michelle McManus has announced the happy news that she's pregnant with her first child.

The Pop Idol star, 39, is expecting a baby with her husband Jeff Nimmo.

She shared the news on Instagram as she and Jeff posed up together by the Christmas tree and she cradled her bump.

She said: "On the 10th day of Christmas,‬ ‪my true love gave to me ‬Our very own little baby

"‪Baby Nimmo due early 2020"

Her fans were so excited.

One said: "Best news ever!!! Love you guys!!! You’re going to be amazing parents"

Another said: "what wonderful news"

While one told the couple: "Over the moon for you both"

Michelle won ITV contest Pop Idol back in 2003, when she was 23 years old.

The show was hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, who looked extremely baby-faced in the throwback clip Michelle shared a couple of years back.

Michelle took the crown on the singing contest as the beat rival Mark Rhodes - of Sam and Mark fame - to glory.

Her victory took Michelle by such surprise that she doubled over in shock and burst into tears.

After winning the show, Michelle released her debut album The Meaning Of Love.

Her second album was never released.

Michelle and Jeff tied the knot in 2017 in a stunning ceremony held in the Scottish Highlands.

Wearing an empire-line bridal dress that featured full-length billowing sleeves, Michelle beamed in front of her friends and family as she clutched a colourful bouquet of roses.

She wore a floor-length veil in her hair and kept her chestnut locks swept up into a loose chignon.

Her dashing groom was suitably dressed in a green kilt and matching blazer, as he proudly took the arm of his new wife and led her out of the church.
