JB, who shot to fame on The X Factor back in 2008, announced the couple's happy news during an interview with Hello Magazine.

Taking part in a photoshoot with their three-year-old son Ace, JB and Chloe posted the photo to their social media accounts. JB wrote, 'Today has been a brilliant day, Easter Sunday is a day to celebrate new life, a day to remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, a day to share and give presents symbolising the start of spring and this year, for @chloesiobhangill and I to announce that we are expecting our SECOND little Gill 😂❤️👌🏾super excited isn’t the word, @acejgill is literally buzzing and you can read all about it in tomorrow’s @hellomaguk (link in bio) - feel like the #catwhogotthecream #mummyanddaddy #number2 #family #excited 😁 x sic

Although the couple have decided to not find out their unborn baby's gender, JB's youngest son Ace already thinks he is getting a little sister.

Speaking to Hello Magazine, JB said, "Ace kisses Chloe’s tummy and says to the baby, 'Come soon!' It’s very sweet."

JB and Chloe first starting dating back in 2008 when Chloe was a backing dancer for JLS. The pair tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed Ace Jeremiah Gill later that year.

Chloe's first labour lasted 40 hours after the umbilical cord wrapped around Ace's neck twice. As well as having other complications, the couple have previously stated they were 'nervous' about having another baby.

Chloe said, "I always said I wanted to wait until Ace was a bit more independent before we tried for another one. I knew I needed to wait until, mentally, I was sure I was ready. Even today, the fears are there."

JB and Chloe's second child is due later in the year.

Now see which other celebrities are expecting babies in 2018:

JB, real name Jonathan Benjamin, first shot to fame when he auditioned for The X Factor alongside Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold and Oritsé Williams in 2008.

The group made it all the way to final, only to be beaten by Alexandra Burke. However, this didn't stop JLS having a very successful career. The group sold over six millions records in the UK, and over 10 million worldwide.

With hits such as 'Beat Again', 'One Shot' and 'The Club Is Alive', JLS racked up a massive fan following. The band decided to split in 2013.
