After meeting in 2020, Ferne and Lorrie first went public with their romance in January 2021, with the businessman going on to appear on her ITVBe show First Time Mum.

Lorrie then popped the question to Ferne during a romantic trip to France in Summer last year, before Ferne announced she was expecting her first child with Lorrie in March, after months of rumours that she was pregnant.

Although the couple decided not to find out their baby's gender before the birth, Ferne did speak to OK! Magazine where she admitted she'd prefer a girl. She said: "I would love a girl, just because I've got my girl's name and I feel like a girl mum because I've got Sunday. I can only see myself with girls. "

Ferne and Lorrie are yet to reveal the name of their new arrival.

Congratulations to Ferne and Lorrie! ❤️
