The star from Walkden also took to Instagram to wish her friend and former Strictly Come Dancing professional partner Johannes Radebe a happy birthday, saying she 'can't wait' for the dancer to meet their 'little lady.' The pair formed a close friendship while tearing up the dancefloor on the BBC dance show in 2019.
She wrote: "Happy Birthday to one of Gods ‘Earth Angels’ - to one of the most special humans I’ve had the honour of meeting. My beautiful, talented friend @johannesradebe.
She told Johannes, 35: "We love you so much and we are so thrilled and proud of all you are doing. We miss you and can’t wait for you to meet our little lady. Have a FABULOUS day!!! Keep shining darling and Thankyou for being in our lives - The Pitfield’s."
Catherine, 38, opened up to followers about her pregnancy journey admitting it felt as though she’d been pregnant for a lot longer than she had been. "Apparently an African bush elephant is pregnant for 22 months!" she wrote in one Instagram post.
"I fear that my body may have me confused with an elephant! It feels like I’ve been pregnant since 1942… Cherishing pjs, a bump and copious amounts of pineapple while I can."
In February she told how each day has brought 'new obstacles' because of her hormone sensitivity. "Some days I am met with loss of vision at several points during the day through ocular, hormone related migraines," Cath said. "I have had to pull over in my car and ride out vision loss, crying on my own till it passes…But baby needs those hormones to flourish. For me it’s an inconvenience- to her its staying alive."
She continued: "My pregnancy insomnia means that some days , I can barely get out of bed. I can’t ignore my body- it’s doing it’s(sic) thing. Yes it’s hard - but my daughter is strong and thriving. That is what matters the most."
