The emotional scenes, which saw Tommy cradling and kissing her bump, came three years after she met her man on Love Island.
Yet while her happy baby news may have come as a surprise to some - many of Molly's loyal followers already had their suspicions.
Tommy has previously told how he wants four kids with PLT's creative director.
He admitted he wanted to try for a baby this year and, for the past few months, Molly has been spotted covering up her figure with oversized tops and tracksuits.

The reality star is a huge fan of comfy clobber so the big sweats and puffer jackets - seen in her recent trip to Switzerland - were a savvy way of hiding her bump, too.
Recently, Molly has filled her grid with images of her in oversized garments while back at home in Manchester.
And, admittedly, while it is colder up north - she made sure her jackets were keeping her unborn tot snug too.
As an expert influencer, she's also au fait with the perfect poses to hide a growing tum.

This has included standing side-profile in puffy coats, to hide the silhouette of her curves.
She's also filmed segments from the waist-up, to cut out the bump completely.
Other images have seen her lean back into a sofa as well as tuck a deliberately oversized sweater into her joggers - with the ripples of fabric acting as a effective cover-up.
Molly has also been spotted without her signature collection of gold rings, which she could have removed due to swelling.
She has also focussed heavily on her Molly Maison account and dream £3.5million home refurbishment in her latest YouTube videos, with the decor content again acting as a distraction.
In one video which showed her stunning £60K designer-clad closet, she admitted she was "not going to the gym right now," which was another teasing sign of her impending motherhood.
As was her recent nosebleeds on holiday - something many pregnant women experience due to hormonal changes.
She told how she lost "five litres of blood" - yet did not explain why.
Molly has also made numerous references to her increasing appetite in her recent vlogs, again giving fans a teasing hint as to what was to come.
Earlier this year she was forced to deny having a boob job and told how she had put on weight - without admitting she was pregnant.
Yet now her happy news is public and fans can join her celebrations.
Sharing a sweet video with fans showing off Molly-Mae's bump, she said: "I can’t wait for the adventures that we haven’t even dreamed of yet”.
The emotional clip starts off with Molly-Mae reading out the loving quote when she was in the Love Island final with Tommy.
The loved-up couple have gone from strength to strength since then and recently moved into their dream home.
They have both made no secret about wanting to start a family together and just last month Molly admitted she didn’t mind about getting married first.
Opening up about her dreams of becoming a mum, she gushed: “I’m so excited to have babies and all the other stuff that comes for me and Tommy in the future, like I just cannot wait.
“I love my life with him so much now… the thought of it getting even better and having a miniature human that’s half of him and half of me, like what the hell?!”
And at the start of the year Tommy teased fans by saying they will try for a baby “in the not too distant future”.

He told The Sun: “I want four kids but it’s Molly’s body and she’s the one who has to go through it - but I’ll be there with her every step of the way,” says Tommy.
“I’m a big family man and come from a big family too and it’s something we talk about a lot. I don’t think it’s in the far too distant future…"
