Abi Titmuss makes shock announcement just weeks before her wedding

Former nurse reveals her happy news just weeks before her May wedding

| Updated:

Last week Abi Titmuss appeared on Loose Women to reveal that she is living it up in LA and has made a splash in Hollywood as an actress.

Not only is she a semi regular on legendary daytime soap Days Of Our Lives, she’s also planning to marry her squeeze Ari Welkom.

But this morning, she has announced even more exciting news – they are expecting their first child.

Making the announcement during an interview in Hello! magazine, the 41-year-old actress revealed she was “so excited” about becoming a mother.

“I’m 15 weeks pregnant…I’m so excited about becoming a mum for the first time,” she gushed.

“I’d been bursting to share the news sooner but we hadn’t had the all-clear from the doctor so I had to hold back.”

She added: “I found out I was expecting in the second week of January and it has been very hard keeping it a secret until now.”

It would appear that Abi must have been planning a baby because with just a month to go before she and Ari actually do tie the knot, she planned to wear a dress that could potentially accommodate a baby bump.

“I chose the style specifically to accommodate my bump if I fell pregnant. It’s absolutely beautiful.”

Abi, who famously went out with John Leslie for three years, dated David Walliams and footballer Lee Sharpe and actor Marc Warren, met Ari on set of Days Of Their Lives.

She told The Mirror: “I wanted to meet somebody who didn’t know anything about me so I would know 100 per cent in my heart this person just liked me for me and didn’t have any judgement.

“I knew when he looked at me he was seeing a complete stranger that he didn’t know anything about.

“I’m engaged to the love of my life and I’m ready to be a mum. Having children has always been really important to me.”

Ari popped the question while the couple were enjoying a romantic break in Hawaii.
