However, the GB News regular admitted it was far from an easy journey, bravely telling Hello!: "I have polycystic ovaries, so getting pregnant wasn't easy for us.

"We'd been trying for a long time and were about to embark on assisted ovulation. We even had the trigger injection chilling in our fridge ready for my next cycle, but then by some miracle, we managed to conceive naturally.

"It feels like I'm on every pill, powder and pessary to keep the pregnancy going, but that's ensured we've successfully made it to the second trimester so it's all worth it!"

Congratulations Ellie!
