Ali meanwhile, announced her second pregnancy just last month. 

She’s expecting her second child with husband David O’ Mahony, in February, and is around five months along. 

She debuted her blossoming baby bump in a sweet photoshoot with OK! Magazine, alongside her husband and their two-year-old daughter Isla Rose.

In an interview with the publication, Ali revealed how she told her daughter the exciting news: ‘Isla came into our room one morning and we were having snuggles. I said to David over her head, ”I think we should tell her now” and he agreed. 

‘I said, ”Have you noticed that mummy’s tummy has been getting bigger?” and she said ”Yes!” I said, ”I’ve got a baby in my tummy.” And then there was this big smile across her face.

‘I wish we had captured that, it was magical, I’ll never forget it. She understood. I said, ”You are going to be a big sister” and her face lit up.’ 

The soap star gave birth to her first child in March 2020, during the first coronavirus lockdown.
