Chanelle Hayes is expecting her second child any day now, and she has just hinted on social media that she’s gone into labour.
Just two hours ago, the reality TV star posted a photo of herself at the hospital, cradling her bump while standing beside a sign for the maternity ward. “Eeek,” she wrote alongside the photo.
Chanelle, 29, is expecting a baby boy with her partner, Ryan Oates. She already has one son, Blakely, age six, from a previous relationship.
Her fans eagerly tweeted her messages, wishing her good luck with her delivery.
Just a few days ago, Chanelle revealed that she thought her waters were broken, but it transpired that she had actually slightly wet herself!

Earlier this year, Chanelle revealed how excited the whole family were for the arrival of the baby, saying she was "thrilled" to be giving Blakely a little brother.
"My two boys can’t wait, either," she told OK!. "Ryan is really sporty, so he will be great with him; and Blakely is saving up his pocket money to buy gifts for his little brother.” How cute!
Chanelle’s second pregnancy was very difficult, as she suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) and she also felt very low at times.
Chanelle was so ill with morning sickness in her first trimester that she lost two stone while pregnant and had to take drugs which are normally used for chemotherapy patients. She also had a tough time with mood swings while pregnant.
"There’s so much talk about post-natal depression – but you can also feel like that when you are pregnant. Especially when you’re not happy with your body beforehand and being sick constantly,” she explained.
She added: "I wouldn’t change it (being pregnant) for the world, but I'm not ashamed to say I’m miserable."
Chanelle admitted that this pregnancy will probably be her last - although her boyfriend Ryan is keen on having a big family.
“If Ryan had his way, he’d have loads - he’s said he wants a girl. But I don’t think I could go through it all again, and a family of four is perfect for me,” the former Big Brother star said.
Best of luck to Chanelle – we’re so excited for her!
