Megan McKenna announces she’s pregnant with first child with footballer fiance Oliver Burke

MEGAN McKenna is expecting her first baby with footballer Oliver Burke.

The former Towie star, 31, shared the happy news with fans tonight, writing alongside a cute video: “A little bit of you and a little bit of me… now we’re a family.”

Their famous pals and friends rushed to congratulate them, with Wayne Lineker writing: “Congrats guys. Guess we won’t be seeing you at ocean this year then Megs.”

Liberty Poole commented: “Congrats beautiful so excited for you !!!”

And Chelsee Healey said; “The best news - life starts now.”

The news come after Megan has turned her hand to cooking this past year - often showing off huge meals she is making.

The star has been continuously trolled over her portion sizes - but it now appears she has been eating for two.

Whirlwind romance

The football star, 26, got down on one knee on June 14 of last year - after just five months of dating.

Megan and Oliver got engaged weeks after making their red carpet debut as a couple.

They shared a romantic video of the proposal in Montenegro.

Megan told fans: "YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… here’s to forever my future husband."

Oliver added: "I promise to love you for the rest of my life.

"I can’t wait to grow old with you my wife to be. I love you. Forever. And always."

The couple moved into a home together shortly afterwards, with Megan leaving her beloved Essex behind and even got matching tattoos.

Rise to fame

Megan shot to fame on Ex On The Beach (2015–2016) but received wider attention for appearing on Celebrity Big Brother (2016).

But it was on The Only Way Is Essex that she really became a household name, thanks to her tumultuous relationship with Pete Wicks.

She was on the ITV2 reality show from 2016 until 2017.

The star launched her music career in 2018 when she released her debut studio album, Story of Me - and won the X Factor the year later.

Hospital stay

Last November, Megan had a hospital stay - telling fans at the time she needed an operation on her tummy.

It didn't go quite according to plan and she shared: "Hello, I know I told you all I was recovering last week, I had a small procedure in my belly last Monday which has lead some complications inside (its very painful & so uncomfortable to move."

The star added: "It got worse thursday & was admitted to hospital Friday. All the nurses are so lovely So I'm in good hands. Miss cooking my dinners & sharing with you all.

"Just need some good energy put out for me please so I can be better to put up my tree & cook cute winter dinners."
