As she smiles from ear to ear, we can't say we're surprised when Ferne McCann asks us, "Can you believe I'm pregnant?" while she munches on a croissant at our studio.
Baring her growing baby bump in a crop top, as her daughter Sunday zooms past on a scooter, the former TOWIE star is glowing and looks so in love.
"Any cravings?" we playfully ask her. "Carbs!" she responds, while being ushered in front of the camera for the next shot.
It's been a year since we last sat down to have lunch with Ferne and since then she has got engaged to Portsmouth native Lorri Haines and has been sucked into a media storm over some voice notes. Now she is officially sharing her pregnancy news with the world exclusively with OK!, there's certainly a lot to catch up on!
Taking us back to the moment she discovered she was expecting, right after a romantic trip with Lorri to India, Ferne recalls, "I knew I was pregnant - I just knew. All the tell-tale signs were there. I missed a period and I couldn't even touch my boobs because they were so painful."
Upon returning to the UK, she did a test, which confirmed her suspicions.
"I just sat on the toilet with the door open and was like, 'I knew it! It's positive!' It wasn't this romantic, tears-streamingdown-my-face thing. We were so happy. It wasn't planned, but it wasn't not planned. For us both being parents, they're little miracles and it was such a positive moment and something to look forward to for us."
"I was over the moon - I couldn't believe it!" Lorri adds. was like, 'Give me the stick, and then I went and got another one. We jumped around in the hallway."
Ferne, 32, and Lorri, 31, kept the pregnancy under wraps, telling only their nearest and dearest, including her five-year-old daughter Sunday and his six-year-old son Noah. Both children are "over the moon" about having another sibling.
