FERNE McCann is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Lorri Haines - but fans might have noticed she has been hinting at the happy news for sometime.
The former Towie star, 32, met her businessman boyfriend two years ago and he popped the question on a romantic holiday to France in July.

The reality star posted an album of images from their luxury weekend at Soho Farmhouse as she gushed about their relationship.

She wrote: "Love isn’t all happiness. Romantic dates, lust, laughter, snuggles, cosy dinners & endless joy. No, love means warts n all & showing up no matter what. The good the bad & the ugly.
"It’s not been the easiest first year of a relationship but it’s also not been a total write-off."
She added: "So with the ebb & flows, I am super happy to have you by my side. Here’s to many more babe."
However, eagle-eyed fans would have noticed several clues within the album.
The former This Morning presenter was only seen in oversized jackets and baggy cardigans, or completely covered up in a plush robe whilst she relaxed at the Oxfordshire estate.
Whilst Lorri was seen striding along the estate in a full length snap, Ferne was only seen sitting down, or in clever poses such as a bent posture whilst riding her bike.
It was also notable that she posted several snaps of her delicious meals she shared with her partner.
Whilst the duo dined on a roast dinner, there was no booze present as Ferne opted to drink water only on their romantic getaway.
In a picture posted around Christmas, Ferne and Lorri were seen cosying up together, but he stood in front of her as he concealed her figure from the camera.

The snaps she posted onto her social media either show her sitting down, or trying her best to conceal her growing bump.
As Ferne posed, she covered herself from head to toe in traditional clothing with long headscarves that reached her waist or flowing skirts.
It has also been noted that she hasn't flashed her midriff since November 2022.
For her daughter Sunday's fifth birthday party, the star bent down as she posed with her child and an entertainer dressed as Rapunzel.
It appears her posture was carefully crafted as she attempted to hide as much of her abs as possible as she stood behind her daughter.
This comes as she dropped a strong hint to Closer magazine in September as she admitted she was "ready" to welcome a new addition to the family.
She explained: "I’d love for Sunday to have a sibling – I really want a baby now, I’m so ready.
"But do you know what, every baby is a miracle, and it will happen when it’s meant to be."
