"Baby number 3 we can’t wait to meet you..." the Family Diaries star shared alongside the beaming photo. "We are so happy and excited," she added before tagging her husband in the post.

In The Style founder Adam Frisby, who Billie has worked with for years on numerous collections, said: "Ahhh you guys, can’t wait to meet baby number 3." Rebekah Vardy, who met Billie on Dancing On Ice, wrote: "So exciting! Congratulations."
It comes just a a month after her sister Samantha gave birth to her third child. She said as Billie announced her exciting news: "Welcome to the 5 club sis. I’m so so happy for you all. Another beautiful baby to join our family. The babies are going to be so close in age so many memories to make."
She then added: "My prediction is a baby girl? then we have one of each. Love you with all my heart xxx ps what I’d give for sand between my toes right now haha, enjoy your holiday with your family a tiny baby bump. Miss u all x."
Sam gave birth to a baby boy named Edward Knightley last month. She and partner Paul, who are also parents to Paul Jr and Rosie, only revealed their newborn's name last week. Sharing a snap of the newborn in a blue onesie, mum-of-three Sam wrote on Instagram: "A month ago today you were born at home surrounded by so much love.
"It’s for sure been a game changer for mummy having 3 little Knightley’s, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I have soaked up every second with you darling, this is just the beginning.. Whilst it feels like this month has gone really quick, I can’t help but think what an amazing month it’s been.
"I’ve really taken each day to just rest & be with my little newborn. I think I have an extra 5000 new images on my camera roll. I couldn’t even think about doing much else than being at home with my family and really taking this time to settle the baby in & just all be together. I still have a way to go yet, this adjustment has been super full on but equally loving every moment. I’m so proud my heart could burst."
Billie and Greg are currently enjoying a sun-soaked family holiday. Greg showed his family boarding their swanky business class flight, complete with a personalised giant cake. He also shared a photo of his wife using a fork to tuck into the cake. Greg captioned the post: "Let the Abu Dhabi adventures begin…"
