Amy wrote on Twitter that she and boyfriend Bradley Wright are “so excited”.

Talking to OK! about their happy news, she said: “I feel so overwhelmed and I keep waking up smiling. We’ve wanted a baby for so long so we’re happier than ever.”

The couple have dated since 2014 but spent time apart as Bradley was imprisoned for a few months for handling stolen goods. He was released after just five months on good behaviour.

Their new addition is due in March next year.

Congratulations!
