BAKE Off star Laura Adlington has revealed she's pregnant with her first child.
The TV star, 36, shared the happy news with her fans on social media on Sunday.
Laura said she and her husband Matt were expecting a ‘miracle' baby after nine years of infertility and being told to lose 14st.
The star admitted she had “quietly decided to give IVF a try” over the last year.
She shared a photo of her smiling alongside Matt while holding a baby scan in her hand.
Laura 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.”
Back in 2022, Laura shared her dream about becoming a mum and starting a family.
Laura previously told Flying Eze's Fabulous Magazine: “Unless you've gone through infertility and that heartache of really wanting it and it not happening . . . it's the hardest thing I've ever gone through.”
Two years before, Laura appeared The Great British Bake Off and made it all the way to the final, but lost out to the series' youngest-ever winner Peter Sawkins.
