Hayley's lovely news comes just three weeks after she confirmed she's pregnant with her first child, despite being told in the past she'd not be able to conceive.

The actress wrote, 'EXCITING NEWS TWEET!! I’m so pleased to tell you all... I’m expecting my first child with my wonderful boyfriend Adrian!! 👶🏻 I’ve always wanted to be a mum and didn’t think I could have children. And now, at the ripe old age of 42 - I’M PREGNANT! And We couldn’t be happier. �'. sic

Hayley found love with her boyfriend Adrian after a number of failed relationships in the past, including a previous engagement to choreographer Darren Charles. However, Hayley called off the engagement in 2010, after he admitted to cheating on her whist she was on Dancing On Ice.

Despite this, Hayley is now super loved-up with Adrian, and now the pair have a wedding to plan as well as a baby on the way!
