Former TOWIE star Mario Falcone has shared the happy news that wife Becky is pregnant.
The pair, who wed in summer this year, are already parents to son Parker who was born in 2018. Mario and Becky have been trying for a sibling for four year old Parker and turned to IVF.
The news comes after Becky suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage at just eight weeks after having an IVF embryo implanted earlier this year.
Mario revealed the news of his and Becky's pregnancy as he joined his sisters Giorgina and Giovanna Fletcher on her podcast Happy Mum Happy Baby.
Speaking on the podcast, Mario said: "This baby that's coming, we had IVF.
"That was a really really ... I had this thing in my head when we were tying for baby two, we had this added pressure we were letting Parker down.
"He's so ready for a sibling - when he comes home from his cousins and he loves being there, he says 'why haven't I got a brother or sister?'.
"That literally kills you as you're like I can give you anything you want as my son, but this is the one thing I actually can't give you."
He added: "This time, the third time, it has worked. She will be 16 weeks when this goes out.
The soon to be father of two revealed how hard the miscarriage hit his relationship with Becky. He confessed: "That was probably the hardest thing we have had to deal with in our relationship.
"It's a disappointment of yourself, because we got really excited about telling our families at Christmas, we had little cards made that unfortunately arrived he next day, and then telling Parker - but we hadn't told him on that one."
