Brian Dowling expecting baby with husband amid surrogacy struggle

Brian Dowling has revealed that he is expecting a baby with his husband Arthur Gourounlian.

The presenter and Big Brother star, 43, announced the happy news on social media and said that they would be expecting their little girl or boy later this year.

Sharing a video of himself running into a room, Brian is heard shouting "we're f***ing pregnant!" as Arthur jumps up in shock.

Another clip shows them visiting the sonographer as they're clearly shocked to see their baby for the first time.

In his post, Brian revealed that they had kept the baby news a secret for months but that they couldn't wait to meet "Baby Dowling Gourounlian".

He wrote: "It COMPLETELY FILLS OUR HEARTS @gourounlian to be able to reveal we are PREGNANT & due to our BEAUTIFUL bundle of joy later this year. We actually never thought this day would be a reality for us.

"We fully realize & understand how lucky & blessed we are for this to be happening. For a lot of us out there & especially people from our community we have to fight harder & push harder for what others consider to be something that can be achieved easily.

"Myself & Arthur have been keeping the BIGGEST secret the past few months but it’s put the BIGGEST SMILES in our HEARTS & on our FACES. We can’t wait to meet you, hug you & LOVE YOU for the rest of our lives Baby Dowling Gourounlian is on the way people."

The comments were full of congratulations for the couple, with one writing: "Omg this is an incredible news So so happy for you two."

While another commented: "Cannot wait to meet this precious angel. You will be the best daddies."

Nadine Coyle also wrote: "This will be the luckiest baby coming into the most wonderful home!!! Congratulations all 3 of of you on your adventures together!!!"
