Pregnant Molly-Mae's best friend Maura Higgins shares incredible moment mum-to-be saw unborn baby for first time

The congratulations have been pouring in after former Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury reveled that they are expecting their first baby together. Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 23, announced that she was pregnant today (Sunday September 25) in a heartwarming black and white video posted on Instagram.

In the video, captioned "I can't wait for the adventures that we haven't even dreamed of yet", Molly-Mae was in tears as she said the same words to Tommy in the famous Love Island villa where they met and fell in love back in the summer of 2019. The clip then cut to mum-to-be Molly gently stroking her blossoming bump as Tommy held her.

The Manchester boxer was then seen tenderly planting a kiss on her bump as she laughed with delight. Among those leading the congratulations was mum-of-four Loose Women presenter Stacey Solomon who said: "This made me emotional."

And Molly's best friend Maura Higgins, who was also an Islander in the same series of the ITV2 dating show, posted a gorgeous black and white video showing Molly-Mae's joyous reaction as she met her unborn baby as she went for her scan.

The clip shared on Maura's Instagram showed an emotional Molly-Mae clap a hand over her mouth with excitement as she saw the screen. "The most precious say meeting you @mollymae & @tommyfury you are going to be amazing parents," wrote Maura.

And as the former Dancing On Ice star zoomed in for a close-up of the baby, she added: "Love you so much already." The couple, the half-brother of heavyweight champion boxer Tyson Fury, had previously spoke about wanting children, with Tommy saying he wanted a big family.

Earlier this year Molly-Mae and Tommy moved into their first home bought together. It took them three years to find their dream home, named 'Molly Maison'.

Guests at a lavish housewarming party were greeted with a candle and flower display with a pink fairytale book which said "The next chapter. Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away." The book also listed their moving-in date "8.4.2022."

Shortly after moving into their lavish mansion she shared a bargain purchase she couldn't resist. Harry Potter fan Molly-Mae returned from a trip to bargain store B&M with a 'Welcome to Hogwarts' doormat for £7.99.

In May Tommy and Molly-Mae went on a romantic trip to Dubai for her birthday. PrettyLittleThing creative director Molly-Mae shared a picture of their room which had been covered in white and gold balloons above the bed.

Earlier that month the couple, who fell for each other from their first date on the ITV dating contest and came second, celebrated Tommy's 23rd birthday in Los Angeles.

Molly-Mae said "I think yesterday was one of the best days of my life" as they visited Universal Studios Hollywood. They celebrated after Manchester boxer Tommy won his bout with Daniel Bocianski at Wembley Stadium on the undercard for his heavyweight champion brother Tyson and following renovations on their new home.
