She told her followers: “I am 21 weeks today and the reason why I left it so long, is because I always want to make sure everything is completely fine and everything is safe.

“I was very shocked when I first found out, I have got used to it now and I am super, super happy about it.”

Sophia Grace has had a boyfriend for over two years but he chooses to stay off social media.

Sophia Grace and her cousin Rosie went viral on social media more than a decade ago.

The YouTube sensations garnered even more popularity when they performed Nicki Minaj's Super Bass while wearing tutus during their television debut with Ellen DeGeneres in America.

Sophia was just eight when she became an overnight sensation.

Following her successful first appearance, Ellen repeatedly brought Sophia and Rosie back onto the show - and sent them on red carpet trips to interview the celebrities they were in love with.

They were also given their own segment - Tea Time with Sophia Grace and Rosie - where they would interview celebrity guests over a cup of tea, ask them embarrassing questions and trade dance move tips.

Guests on their segment included a host of young icons including Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, as well as established veterans like Hugh Grant and Reese Witherspoon.

As the girls became runaway successes, Sophia and Rosie were also given their own movie and have been the lead characters in two children's picture books which follow their adventures.

The pair returned to the show in May 2022 to help celebrate the end of the programme.

They both launched singing careers and YouTube channels.

Sophia recently insisted they were still close, saying: "There's like a 4-year age gap, we have been close like sisters. People get mistaken because we don't always post things together online. They think that we're not close anymore. But we literally are like best friends."
