Kate Ferdinand has announced she is expecting her second child with her husband, the former England footballer Rio Ferdinand.

The former reality TV star confirmed the news to her 1.4 million followers on Instagram on Sunday morning, posting a short video clip where she revealed her baby bump.

A caption for the post read: “We’ve been praying for you.”

Her announcement prompted a wave of messages from fellow celebrities.

Presenter Holly Willoughby wrote: “Awww congratulations to you both… that’s lovely news.”

The actress Michelle Keegan posted: “Congratulations darling.”

Former Love Island contestant Montana Brown was also along the well-wishers, posting: “Stop this is amazing! Congratulations.”

The couple are already parents to a boy, Cree, who was born in December 2020.

Last July Mrs Fedinand said she was “devastated and heartbroken” after she suffered a miscarriage.

Her husband, the former Manchester United star, has three children with his first wife Rebecca Ellison, who died of breast cancer in 2015.
