Bianca Gascoigne, who is expecting her first child with partner Arron Wright next month, began the new year with a honest post stating she had been suffering from prenatal depression.
The daughter of Sheryl and Paul Gascoigne said she enlisted the help of a psychic medium named Emma to help her through the condition, writing: ‘Everything she predicts always comes true… it’s crazy scary.’
Bianca also posted a glowing photo of herself cradling her bump in a black bikini and confessed she’s ‘finding everything a little bit scary’ in the lead up to her due date.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the soon-to-be mum-of-one posted a gorgeous image of a lilac sky and wrote over the picture: ‘Had my first reading of the year with my real life angel @theangelic.medium It’s the best way to start the new year! Her guidance is magical.’
She added: ‘Emma has massively helped me through my Antenatal Depression and everything she predicts always comes true!!! ….. it’s crazy scary. Her gift is unreal and extremely very lucky to have her in my life.’
Bianca also took to her main grid with a sizzling snap of herself in a bikini which she candidly captioned: ‘New Year and definitely gonna be a new me! Still can’t believe I’m going to be a mummy next month!

‘Finding everything a little bit scary as I’m sure most new parents feel! It’s the unknown isn’t it. All you can pray for is the baby is healthy and everything will to fall into place.’
Her 343,000 followers were quick to share messages of support, with one writing: ‘Yes it will all fall into place.’
Another echoed: ‘I have 3 and each time it was like new and scary…. it’s always a learning process and all you can do is your best. Good luck, it’s definitely needed, along with patience,’ while one penned: ‘You will find your path. Do what suits you B. No child is the same. Happy New Year lovely.’
Bianca confirmed in August that she was expecting her first child, writing on Instagram: ‘We’re having a baby.’
For their announcement post, she and Arron hilariously mimic the 2007 film Knocked Out, with Bianca eating into a slice of pizza in bed and Arron looking concerned as he read a parenting book and held up a positive pregnancy test.

She explained that her brother, Regan Gascoigne, had taken the amazing mock-up of the Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl comedy film.
Their child is expected in February 2023, according to their pregnancy announcement poster.
Friends and fans were quick to congratulate the couple on their happy news, with Geordie Shore’s Sophie Kasaei writing: ‘OMFG NO WAY!!! This makes me so happy oh my god I can’t wait to see u to celebrate x,’ while Charlotte Crosby added: ‘OOOOOOHHH MYYYYY GODDDDD, Congratulations.’
Prior to getting together with Arron, Bianca revealed she was planning to freeze her eggs to ‘take the pressure off’ worrying about having kids.
She told Closer magazine in 2021: ‘I’m 35 in October and I’m at the age where women start to worry about their biological clock.
‘I definitely see settling down and having kids as the next stage in my life, but seeing as I’m single now it makes sense to do this as a kind of insurance.’
