Casey Batchelor expecting first child with secret boyfriend Dane Goodson

Aw, we love a happy baby story!

| Updated:

Ex Celebrity Big Brother housemate Casey Batchelor is reportedly expecting her first child.

The yoga instructor’s happy baby news came as a surprise to many fans who didn’t even know that she was in a relationship!

Casey, 33, has kept her romance with businessman Dane Goodson away from the cameras – and her social media accounts – for 18 months.

But it’s clearly VERY serious as The Sun reports Casey and Dane are expecting a baby.

An insider said: “It really was love at first sight for her and Dane, and a year and a half on they are overjoyed about becoming parents.

“She really believes she’s finally found her Prince and loves he’s someone completely separate from the industry.”

Aww, congrats!

Casey has not directly addressed the pregnancy reports but she did tweet one journalist who wrote about her impending arrival to thank them for a lovely article – confirmation that it’s true?

She also hinted at an upcoming announcement last week, posting a video of her performing an impressive yoga move to Instagram with the caption: “I haven’t posted a yoga video for a while and you will all find out very soon why I haven’t.”

Model Casey is probably best known for appearing on the 13th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, where she enjoyed an ill-fated romance with Lee Ryan.

Perhaps after that high-profile fling it’s no surprise Casey’s chosen to keep her latest relationship firmly under wraps.

She only confirmed the romance for the first time last month – but even then wouldn’t reveal Dane’s name as he doesn’t want any media attention or publicity.

She would only tell Daily Star Sunday: “We’ve kind of moved in with each other and we have spoken about marriage.

“We are very much in love, so we’re going to see what happens.

“He’s really lovely and we get on really well. I think he’s going to be the man I’m going to be with for the rest of my life.”

Congrats to Casey and Dane!
