Love Island star Katie Salmon has revealed she's pregnant with her first child.

The reality star appeared on the second series of the show in 2016 and became half of the show's first same sex couple with the late Sophie Gradon.

She is now expecting a baby with her fiancé Harry.

"Been Busy Creating Life. First came love, then came you! 6 months pregnant with our biggest blessing..." she wrote on Instagram.

Less than a month ago the mum-to-be got engaged and was thrilled to share her happy news with fans.

And it wasn't long before the congratulations started rolling in.

Ex On The Beach star Helen Briggs wrote: "Oh my god KATIE!!!! CONGRATULATIONS. I know how much this means to you!!'

TOWIE star Shelby Tribble penned: "Congratulations."

While fellow Love Island star Jessica Hayes wrote: "Babeeeee this is amazing congratulations baby girl."

It comes after Katie's Christmas Day proposal took place on a beautiful Thai beach.

Katie and her boyfriend Harry relocated to the south east Asian country in February of this year, at the time telling fans they wanted to 'start a new life'.

Alongside the pictures Katie, 26, wrote: "HE ASKED ME TO BE HIS WIFE My best friend, my twin flame, The love of my life asked me to marry him and made me the happiest girl alive!!!!

"My baby, we’ve been through so much together and built so much, I cannot wait to share this next chapter with you and take your hand in marriage forever.

"I love you so much I have no other words to say! The best Christmas … YES, YES YES."

Fans and friends were quick to offer their congratulations, with many other reality stars jumping in to the comments section to post well-wishes and emojis.

Katie first shot to fame when she appeared on the 2015 series of Love Island, coupling up with Sophie Gradon to become the show's first same sex couple. Sophie tragically took her own life in 2018.

Getting engaged will definitely be one of the couple's highlights of life in Thailand.

In May this year Katie revealed that their apartment had been robbed while they were out - with the thieves leaving just one BRA behind.

She said: "All my followers have watched me move countries and start a new life with my man @dirtykingharry and it’s actually been a dream come true until early hours Sunday morning, we left our villa to arrive back to NOTHING.

"All of are possessions everything we own, phones, money, cards, clothing, shoes, everything gone.

"To let you know exactly where am at I have been left with 1 bra and a top and a pair of shoes unfortunately, Harry hasn’t been that lucky," she continued.

"Gotta laugh or I will cry and there’s no tears here just lessons and blessings.

"Anyway it’s been REAL being so far away from home and unable to access anything due to the fact everything has been took incl my diary with all my personal details. MAD."

Months prior to the robbery, Katie was slammed for fashioning a sexy bikinis out of face masks.
