Rio and Kate Ferdinand announce they're expecting their first child with touching video

Kate and Rio Ferdinand have announced they're expecting their first child together.

The happy news was revealed on Kate's official Instagram page, where the former TOWIE star, 29, shared a touching video and said: "The crazy house is about to get a little bit crazier ... every time I watch this it makes me cry, the best reaction

"Baby Ferdy we are all so excited to meet you".

In the video, Kate and Rio can be seen talking to Rio's children Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia, nine before making the big reveal.

The three children jumped and squealed for joy after learning a new sibling is on the way in the heartwarming clip.

Kate then stands and rubs her cute bump and asks her stepchildren: "Have you not noticed?"

The happy brood then joined for an embrace.

Kate and Rio were married last September.

Former footballer Rio, 41, also shared the video to his 4.3million Instagram followers.

He said: "We got our wish, another Ferdinand en route!!

" @xkateferdinand  I can’t wait to go through this whole pregnancy together and then bring our little human into this world

"The reaction though."

The couple's video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times and received comments from well wishers sharing their congratulations over the happy news.
