Fleur East announces pregnancy as her 2024 looks 'different'
Fleur East is pregnant with her first child.
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' and 'X Factor' star is expecting her first baby with her fashion designer husband Marcel Robin, who she married in 2019.
Sharing a professional photo of herself cradling her bump, she wrote on Instagram: "2024 is gonna be different..." alongside a baby and love heart emoji.
The 36-year-old star's post was flooded with well wishes and congratulatory messages from fellow 'Strictly' stars.
Oti Mabuse wrote: "Yessssssssss! Congratulations!"
Zara McDermott added: "Congratulatons! You're going to be an amazing mummy xx"
While Kym Marsh commented: "Ahhh babe!!!! I’m so happy for you! Congrats."
Fleur first starting dating Marcel in 2010, before they tied the knot in Morocco nine years later.
She previously admitted her family were keen on the couple to have children one day, but at the time she explained she had some goals she wanted to reach first.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper back in 2021, she said: "Everyone in my life is begging me to have kids. It’s got to that stage.
"Me and my husband are really driven and doing a lot with our own careers. He’s into fashion and I’m doing 10,000 things at once.
"We definitely want to have a family for sure but we’re not putting pressure on it. Our mums would say different, they’re itching now. They want grandchildren."
Fleur first appeared on 'The X Factor' in 2005 as part of the group Addictiv Ladies, but they were eliminated on week one despite being mentored by show boss Simon Cowell.
She would return nine years later as a solo artist and finished as the runner-up, while she has continued to appear on reality TV shows such as 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' and last year's series of 'Strictly', while she took over from Rylan Clark on spin-off show 'It Takes Two'.
