Katherine confirmed that she and Andrew are going to have a baby girl by sharing a picture of one of her wedding photos, with a pair of pink ballet shoes on top.

She wrote: “Couldn't be more excited to meet our little girl!”

In a joint statement, the happy couple added: “We are overjoyed to be expecting our first child in the autumn. Starting a family and moving into this exciting phase of our lives is a blessing for which we are incredibly grateful. We eagerly await the arrival of our little girl.”

Andrew and Katherine tied the knot in September last year, in a lavish ceremony held at Hampton Crown Court.

Months after their wedding, she confessed that she was keen to start a family, telling The Mirror: “I do really want a family. Please God, touch wood, we'll be lucky and they'll be fit and healthy.

"That's all I care about."
