BABY JOY! - ‘IVF HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES – WE FEEL SO LUCKY'

BRIAN McFADDEN AND FIANCÉE DANIELLE PARKINSON REVEAL THEIR EXCITING PREGNANCY NEWS TO OK! AFTER SUFFERING TWO DEVASTATING MISCARRIAGES

- CHLOE ALEXANDROU

Brian McFadden and fiancée Danielle Parkinson haven’t had an easy ride when it comes to starting a family of their own, but the couple are over the moon on the set of OK!’s exclusive shoot – as they reveal they are expecting!

“Today she’s wearing these tight dresses and she actually looks pregnant,” Brian explains. “When you can see the bump, that’s when it becomes real.”

The couple’s journey so far has been tough. After trying to conceive naturally for two years, Brian, 40, and Dani, 39, sought IVF treatment. Dani then fell pregnant twice, but tragically both pregnancies ended in miscarriage. In August, they told OK! they were “devastated”.

Thankfully, after 17 months of IVF, the pair are happy to reveal they are now past that all-important three-month pregnancy mark.

“We’re 15 weeks along now,” Brian says, while a thrilled Dani adds, “We’re due on 14 May. But they said normally with your first baby it can be early.”

They also give credit to pals Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips for putting them in touch with a specialist nutrition expert who created a diet plan they believe helped them conceive.

Brian already shares daughters Molly, 19, and Lilly, 17, with ex-wife Kerry Katona, while this will be former PE teacher Dani’s first.

Here, the couple talk about their struggle to fall pregnant, and reveal Brian will be on tour on the baby’s due date…

Huge congratulations you two! How does it feel to know you’re expecting?
