Danielle hasn't publicly named her boyfriend but back in September she revealed she has found love with her "best friend of 22 years".

And they certainly look cosy as they share kisses in bed and hold up the baby scan photo for the camera.

Danielle has already been busy nesting after buying her first home in Essex.

She saved her pennies by living with her parents so that she could splash out on her Victorian house - which comes complete with an incredible walk-in wardrobe and chandeliers.

Danielle split from her ex-boyfriend footballer Daniel Spiller back in August.
