The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Hanna Kinsella is 'super excited' to be expecting a baby with her husband Martin, and the journey of her pregnancy will be documented on the ITVBe reality show.
Hanna is currently filming the 12th series of the explosive docudrama and she says the rows have already begun over who will be godmother.
She's thrilled that the pregnancy will feature in the long-running series as a future memento for them and their first child.
She told us: "Production have been really, really good with me and they let me leave if I need to.
"Because I'm pregnant I'm not getting into any arguments.
"I've got a good excuse not to get involved now."
Speaking about her co-stars on the show she laughed: "The fights are already starting over who's going to be godmother.
"The girls have all been lovely and supportive."
Hanna, whose wedding day last September featured in the show, says she isn't daunted by the idea of the cameras following her first pregnancy.
"It is quite personal having your scan on the show but at the same time we're on a reality show," she said.
"It's nice to document it and to have something to keep."
Dentist Hanna and anti-ageing specialist doctor Martin found out they were to become parents after Hanna felt out of sorts during lockdown. The due date is February 8.
"We are super excited," she said.
"We weren't actively trying and it was a nice surprise.
"We had been so busy and in lockdown we had a great time.
"I said to Martin 'I don't feel the same' and I just knew.
"He went out to the chemist to get a test and it said 'pregnant two to three weeks.'
"It took a while to sink in."
The ladies are known for shopping up a storm on The Real Housewives and Hanna has already bought a couple of things for their little one.
She added: "It feels surreal looking for baby stuff in shops and seeing pregnant ladies and thinking 'I'm one of them.'"
Hanna, 32, and Martin, 39, have the gender of their baby written down for them on a piece of paper and sealed in an envelope.
The envelope is currently in a drawer and Hanna says it's taking all of her willpower not to open it to have a peek.
"It is taking every little bit of my willpower not to see what it is," she said.
"There's something lovely about it being a surprise.
"We may do a gender reveal so I want people to see the real reaction."
Asked if the pair have chosen names for baby Kinsella Hanna said they have, but they're keeping their choices to themselves for now.
On September 14 Hanna and Martin will celebrate a year of marriage after tying the knot with two ceremonies in Liverpool.
"I feel so lucky, everything is coming together," she said.
"We were going to Palma but we will definitely do something nice to celebrate."
