And the congratulatory messages were quick to come flooding in. Gemma Atkinson, who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her second child, said: "Ahhh congratulations! Lovely news."

Model Christine McGuinness wrote: "Congratulations beautiful girl."Comedian and TV star Leigh Francis, known to many as alter-ego Keith Lemon, added: "Ah congratulations!"
Speaking exclusively to Closer magazine, Chelsee said the pregnancy has come as a "shock". The 35-year-old told the publication: "I’m so excited to be pregnant again, I feel like the timing is just right. I adored my bump last time with Coco, I’ve actually missed it."
The star – who is currently in a relationship with a new partner, whose identity she wants to keep private – admits she had a few nerves when she realised she was expecting again. "The pregnancy wasn’t planned, it’s what I call a nice accident,” she said. "After I did a pregnancy test, I thought, ‘Oh my god’, and let out a nervous laugh!
"Initially, I thought, ‘No, it’s not the right time’. Coco is the best thing that’s happened to me – although a bit crazy like her mum and doesn’t always do what she’s told! She’s so funny, she’s very independent and there are at least 10 arguments a day. So, I thought, while I’d love another child, I’d want to wait till she’s out of this phase till I think about another.”
Chelsee has raised her five-year-old daughter Coco as a single mum after she split from Coco's dad Jack Malloy. They are said to have parted ways for good not long after she gave birth to Coco in July 2017, after an on-off relationship.
