Laura Whitmore has shared the news with fans that she is expecting a second baby with Iain Stirling.
The Irish model and TV presenter shared bump-filled snaps that make it clear another baby is on the way, in an Instagram post on Wednesday evening.
The 40-year-old posted plenty of pictures of her bump in warmer climes, writing in the caption: ‘Instagram V Reality – Spoiler: It wasn’t just a big meal mama ate. She’s been cooking away!
‘I’d like to thank stretchy pants and travel sick bags.’
Several of Whitmore’s celeb pals took to the comments section to congratulate her on the news, with Vick Hope writing: ‘Huge congrats lovely Laura!!’
Emily Atack also left a string of loveheart emojis and Whitmore’s husband Stirling, who has lent his pipes to Love Island for years now, simply wrote: ‘I love you.’

The couple welcomed daughter Stevie Ré, in March 2021, having tied the knot during the Covid times in 2020.
When the Irish presenter announced she was pregnant with their first child, it was just a day after she married the Scottish comedian.
At the time, she stressed how much the couple value their privacy in an Instagram post, writing: ‘So I’ve always tried to be protective over the personal side of my life. A lot of things are just for me and my loved ones and we’ve chosen not to share publicly.
‘However 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 lockdown 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.
