Laura Whitmore pregnant with her first child after secret wedding to Iain Stirling
LOVE Island host Laura Whitmore has revealed she and husband Iain Stirling are going to be parents.
The couple, who The Sun revealed yesterday had secretly married in Dublin last month, posted a picture of a Guns N Roses babygro on Instagram, with the message: "Coming 2021."
She wrote: "I want to now share good news as it’s our news to share - and I’m gonna be honest it’s starting to look like my lock down beer belly is out of control.
"Iain and I are expecting a baby early 2021. It’s been hard to keep such happy news quiet.
"Especially the times when I’ve had to run out of live radio to get sick in a bin or my penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning.
"I wasn’t hungover like everyone thought. In fact I was completely sober filming the entire series of Celeb Juice, which is quite the accolade!"
She added: "We’d appreciate our privacy respected but just wanted to spread some love and a reminder of the beauty of life ❤️."
The pair were swiftly congratulated by celebrity pals including Kimberley Walsh, Dermot O'Leary and Angela Scanlon.
Laura, 35, and Ian, 32, married in a Humanist ceremony at Dublin’s City Hall on 11 November this year.
They married in front of 25 guests - the maximum allowed under Ireland’s level five rules at the time - with Laura’s half-brother Adam and Iain’s sister Kirsten as witnesses.
However, the couple kept their ceremony under wraps after returning to the UK - with the only clue being when Iain flashed a wedding ring on ITV’s Loose Women.
Laura revealed last year that she had suffered a miscarriage after an unplanned pregnancy, finding out when doctors were unable to detect a heartbeat during her 12-week scan.
She Laura went on to say she felt "alone" when dealing with her miscarriage but added that the experience made her realise that she does want children.
