She later thanked her fans for their support and “lovely” messages.

Laura posted a pic of herself resting her hand on her bump to her Instagram Stories.

Alongside the sweet picture, Laura wrote: Thank you for your lovely messages everyone.”

It seems Laura has managed to keep her pregnancy secret for around six months by posting photos of herself either wearing baggy clothing or from behind.

Laura married her photographer husband Jon in a beach ceremony in Porthscatho, Cornwall in September 2017.

The couple tied the knot in front of family and friends and began their special day in a non-traditional way by taking a dip in the ocean before the ceremony started.

Laura rose to fame when she presented shows like Ready or Not on BBC One last year, and Take Me Out: The Gossip on ITV2.

Speaking about working with former TOWIE star Mark on Take Me Out: The Gossip, Laura told Now Magazine in 2017: “Mark’s the best. He’s like my annoying brother and I’m 
his annoying sister.

“We’re 
like yin and yang, but we really get on and have so much fun together.”

She also gushed over Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness.

She added: “Paddy’s with the girls in 
the studio and we’re in Fernando’s filming as 
the action happens, so 
we don’t film together. But we’re all friends. He’s just brilliant, isn’t he?”
