Bianca Gascoigne is pregnant and expecting her first child!
The reality TV star, 35, and partner Aaron Wright took to Instagram earlier today [August 23] to announce the happy news to their fans and followers, with a little bit of help from Bianca's younger brother, Regan Gascoigne.
The 2022 Dancing On Ice winner was on hand to snap the parents-to-be, as they recreated the movie poster for the Hollywood smash-hit, Knocked Up as a cute and creative way to reveal Bianca's pregnancy to the world.
Posing in bed next to her boyfriend in bed, with a heap of junk food and baby toys covering the bed, Bianca captioned the movie poster mock-up: "We’re having a baby."
The homage to the film starring Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl was shot by brother Regan and revealed Bianca's due date, February 2023.
Fans and friends rushed to congratulate the parents-to-be on their happy news, with one of Bianca's followers writing: "THE BIGGEST CONGRATULATIONS."
Bianca and Aaron's baby news comes just over a year on from the former Celebrity Big Brother star revealing her plans to freeze her eggs amid fears of her 'biological clock' ticking.
Speaking in June 2021 - prior to finding love with Aaron - Bianca explained that she planned to "take the pressure off" meeting a new partner by freezing her eggs later that year, after finding herself newly-single at the time.
"I’m 35 in October and I’m at the age where women start to worry about their biological clock," she told Closer magazine at the time when discussing her fertility and family plans.
The daughter of Sheryl and Paul Gascoigne went on to explain that she wanted the option to have children in the future and "didn’t want to leave it too late".
"I definitely see settling down and having kids as the next stage in my life, but seeing as I’m single now it makes sense to do this as a kind of insurance," she added.
Just weeks after sharing her plans to the freeze her eggs, Bianca went on to spark up a romance with current beau Aaron - going 'Instagram Official' with her future baby daddy in December the same year.
Italy's Dancing With The stars runner-up later revealed how she and Aaron actually first met 14 years ago, and it was 'fate' that brought them together romantically over a decade on from their first encounter.
Sharing a throwback snap of herself and Aaron on Instagram earlier this year, Bianca wrote: "14 years in the making… One of us has a skinhead and one of us has a panda’s eyeliner we we’re stealing people’s Sheesh’s at Dubai races drinking shots of baby Guinness’s 2008.
She continued: 'We’ve known each other for that long, stayed in contact throughout the years, met up in different countries and now re-grouped in the best relationship ever, and being the best versions of ourselves for each other.
"Universe had it planned all along."
Last year, just weeks before re-grouping with Aaron, Bianca explained her plans to become a mother had changed after seeing some of her friends welcome children into the world.
"I was never one of these girls who said, ‘I want to get married at this age and have this many kids’," Bianca said.
"But over the past few years I’ve started to think I’d like to be a mum. One of my best friends has three children and I absolutely love and adore them."
She added: "My friend is now absolutely desperate for me to have children so, she says there’s no better feeling in the world."
Bianca's pal will certainly be pleased with the star's pregnancy announcement!
