During her time in the services, Nichola excelled in interrogations with her skills were honed in the Middle East on tours of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The mum-to-be is now showcasing her softer side as she prepares her home for the arrival of tiny feet in August.

Nichola was ecstatic when she heard the news that she was pregnant.

She told us in May: "For so long, my career was my priority.

"It’s interesting how my priorities shifted from my career, to wanting to be a mother.

"When I first for fertility tests, however, I found out that I only had a 20 percent chance of becoming a mum.

"It was devastating to hear that. I found out from a simple letter after one blood test.

Nichola decided to go down the IVF route, collecting her eggs to be frozen. But after only retrieving four eggs, three of which failed to be fertilised while the final one didn't make it, she was left hopeless and feeling like a failure.

She said: "I came to an understanding that it simply wouldn’t happen. Kids have always been a part of my world, so I wasn’t missing out on the experience, so I just had to come to terms with maybe my own was never meant to be and focus on being a great aunt.

"But last Christmas came with a miracle.

"I decided to go back to the fertility clinic to check for further deterioration. I went together with my current partner - we were once together 10 years ago and decided to rekindle our love again in 2023.

"When anticipating a phone call of bad news, it was then by pure amazement the unexpected happened.

"I am told I am already pregnant through natural conception!

"It was truly a miracle. My partner and I rekindled our romance and our love blossomed into this miracle baby. We were shell shocked when we found out the news.

"I look back on this journey in complete awe. I went from choosing my career as a priority, to prioritising children and trying everything out of want, regardless of cost, effort and impact. In the end, I had accepted nature for what it was.

"But sometimes you just have to let nature run its course- it is all about the right time, right person, right place."
