I didn't realise how much they moved; the baby was literally flipping about. We saw the arms moving and the feet moving and it was pretty magical. The doctor said, 'It's already dancing.'"

Becoming parents has always been on the agenda for the dancing duo, who previously opened up to HELLO! about their desires to start a family.
