Laura Adlington is pregnant!

The GBBO star, 36, has announced she is expecting her first child after nine years of infertility and being told to lose 14st before she could get pregnant.

She wrote: ‘After 9 years of infertility, we are very excited (and still a bit in shock) to be expecting our little IVF miracle in October ✨

‘I know announcements like this can be really painful, especially if you’re in the thick of waiting or grieving, so please feel free to mute or unfollow if you need to and know I’m sending so much love your way.

‘It’s been such a really long, and to be honest lonely road to get here – something many of you will know if you’ve followed me for a while or listened to the podcast.

‘We’d honestly made peace with the idea that having children might not happen for us. But about a year and a half ago, we quietly decided to give IVF a try. 

‘We kept it to ourselves and decided not to share online (or even with family) just so we didn’t put more pressure on ourselves. 

‘We had an unsuccessful round and a cancelled round, and then found out a couple of months ago that I was finally pregnant.

‘I’ll be sharing a bit more over the coming weeks about our journey to get here but for now we’re just really excited to share our news with you all. We honestly can’t believe our luck.’
