Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has announced she's pregnant with her first child in a tear-jerking video. Shaughna, who won hearts on the winter series of Love Island in 2020, posted a moving black and white video on her Instagram.
The 28-year-old reality star was seen beaming with delight as she held her positive pregnancy test. The video also showed her sharing the news with her close friends and visiting the grave of her late father Eddie, who tragically died of cancer in 2016.
Shaughna, who revealed in April that she had a new mysery man and keeps her partner out of the limelight, labelled her pregnancy as "Our greatest chapter yet." The start of the video shows Shaughna getting an ultrasound and it ends with the announcement that her little bundle of joy is due in March 2023.
