"I'm pregnant," Kate said, before revealing her bump and asking: "I am, have you not noticed guys?" Meanwhile, the boys asked: "Are you actually?"

Ashley James
Former Made in Chelsea star and DJ, Ashley James, shared her baby joy with HELLO! in July, revealing that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Tommy Andrews.
"From the moment I found out, it felt so right," said Ashley, 33. "It's been such a 360-degree shift for me," she added, before admitting: "I've never been that maternal. When friends have been like: 'I want to meet someone, settle down and have children,' I never felt the same. I guess I've been a free spirit."
Tech professional Tommy, 30, is also keeping Ashley in check on the baby-name front. "I like wild hippy names, the kind of names that A-list celebrities call their kids, and everyone's like: 'What?' and Tommy's like: 'I don't think so,'" Ashley says, laughing.
Rochelle and Marvin Humes
The celebrity couple are having their third baby together. Taking to their social media pages over Easter, they posted a picture showing a chalk board in the centre, reading: "We're eggspecting baby Humes. October 2020."
Surrounding the board was a white knitted baby jumper, eggs, a baby scan, a pair of tiny shoes and a chick sitting in a nest.
Rochelle wrote alongside the picture: "There's a baby bunny in my oven," while Marvin wrote: "And there's another bunny in the oven! Baby Humes due in Oct 2020. Our hearts are so full we are truly blessed."
