A third fan wrote: "Oh my gosh. Such lovely news for you both and your family. Congratulations," while another shared their prediction on the baby's sex, commenting: "Congratulations to you all! I predict a boy."

Fellow Repair Shop star, Jay Blades, was also among those sharing good wishes. Taking to the comments, he wrote: "Congratulations all three of you," alongside a praying hands emoji, a smiley face and a heart emoji. 

The good news comes just seven months after Will and Polly tied the knot in August last year. The couple were forced to postpone their wedding, which was due to be held in 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The antique pro marked the occasion by sharing a series of loved-up snaps on Instagram. He captioned them: "The best day of my life. Thank you to all who attended and to those that helped to make it happen." So sweet!

While Will prefers to keep any information about his wife under wraps, we do know that she works as a doctor and that the couple live in a beautiful property in Wandsworth, London.
