They continued: "We never thought it was going to happen. We always wanted a big family but after all my endometriosis struggles… heartbreaking miscarriages, seeing fertility doctors & 3 years of ovulation testing & disappointment - we’d honestly given up.
"I remember thinking right. Enough. I gathered up the pram & baby things & gave them all away. We both knew it couldn’t go on, the constant hope."
James and Victoria already share three children (@jimmybye / Instagram)They explained that things took a turn when their lives became really busy, with Victoria's marathon training, planning for their vow renewal and James' intense Strictly training.
She added: "Would you bloody believe it... somehow life saw all our plans and threw us a curve ball", as she joked she wasn't sure how the pair found the time.
Victoria teased: "Strictly curse you say? Ha - introducing the glitterball baby!"
"I think after losing a baby you can never fully let go and enjoy," she explained. "Despite the reassuring symptoms (thanks all day ‘morning’ sickness) and the doctors all nodding… you can’t let go of the fear."
Victoria joked about the 'strictly curse' in her post (@jimmybye / Instagram)She's had support thrown behind her entirely with pals and famous friends rushing to congratulate them on the happy news.
Strictly co-star Ellie Taylor wrote: "Huge congratulations darlings!!", while Kym Marsh added: "So so happy for you all."
James' Strictly partner Amy Dowden also chirped: "So happy for your beautiful family", as Victoria thanked her for her sweet message.
