Massive congratulation are in order this afternoon following the news that a popular reality television star is set to become a mum!
Maria Fowler, who rose to fame for her part in Bafta-winning show The Only Way Is Essex, took to Twitter this afternoon to make a very special announcement.
Delighting legions of fans and followers, the 29-year-old model and beauty blogger revealed that she and her partner Kelvin Batey will be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet in the not-too-distant future.
Using Mother's Day as the perfect platform to announce the wonderful news, Maria shared a sweet snap of her feet and Kelvin's feet standing either side of a small pair of not-yet-worn white Converse trainers.
Posting a sweet message alongside the snap, Maria wrote: "As its Mother's Day, @KelvinBatey555 and I are pleased to announce a new addition is on its way later this year" before ending the message with a cute baby emoji.
Sharing the same snap on his own social media channels, Kelvin paid tribute to his partner, writing: "Really looking forward to finally filling these shoes later this year. So happy and proud of @MariaFowler."
The couple have been inundated with messages of congratulations since the big reveal mere hours ago, with one fan writing: "Congratulations Maria finally getting the happiness you deserve."
