Congratulations are in order for Strictly Come Dancing champion Louis Smith as the gymnast prepares to welcome his second child with girlfriend Charlie Bruce.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the double silver medallist shared a photo of the ultrasound of his unborn child. "It's so nice we had to do it twice," he joked in the caption of his post.
The star's girlfriend, jazz dancer Charlie Bruce, shared the ultrasound alongside a bundle from The Bread Pan which featured an assortment of sweets and baked goods. The gifts all came in baby blue and baby pink, meaning their child's sex was kept a secret.
Fans were over the moon for the pair, with one enthusing: "Amazing news, huge congratulations to you and @charliebruce1990." A second added: "Congratulations mate to you and your family on this new addition," while a third shared: "Wonderful news, congratulations to you both!!"

He got one better in the 2012 Olympic Games scoring a silver medal in the same event, achieving the same outcome four years later at the 2016 Olympics.
