Ore Oduba and his wife Portia are set to become first-time parents next year, with the couple announcing the exciting news in August. Prior to the baby's arrival, Ore is making the most of his final child-free Christmas, revealing to HELLO! Online that he will most probably end up "falling horizontal somewhere on a floor," this festive season. The Strictly Come Dancing star spoke about his big plans for Christmas in our exclusive HELLO! advent calendar, telling us that his favourite thing about the big day was "having the family around," adding: "It's about stuffing yourself silly, it's about having two or three glasses more than you said you would and just falling horizontal somewhere on a floor or a sofa."

Ore and Portia tied the knot in November 2015 – and to mark their one year wedding anniversary, they took part in an exclusive photoshoot with HELLO! magazine, held at their wedding reception venue, Penshurst Place in Kent. "I knew she was The One straight away," Ore said of his wife. "From the first two months, we talked about wanting children. The way we are with each other hasn't dipped or changed. I know I will always be fine when Portia is here."
