Former Love Island star Lavena Back has revealed she is expecting her second child just nine months after giving birth to her first.
In 2019, the 27-year-old featured in the fifth season of the reality dating show.
She entered the programme as a Casa Amor girl, but was dumped a few days later after failing to pair up.
Lavena announced the birth of her daughter Sage with her husband, whom she had married just a few months before, in September of last year.
With a lovely statement on social media, the former TV actress has revealed that she is expecting another child.
Lavena and her husband hide a photo with their hands in the video before removing them to reveal an ultrasound snap.

She captioned the post: ‘When 3 became 4.’
The post was inundated with words of support from family, friends, and fans, as well as some of her former Love Island co-stars.
‘Omg Omg Omg !!!!! Congrats gorgeous,’ Jourdan Riane posted.
‘Congrats,’ Anna Vakili said.
Sage was born just over nine months ago, so her announcement is timely.
Lavena uploaded a black and white snapshot of her and her husband’s hands resting on their baby’s arm as she announced the birth of her daughter.
‘Welcome to the world baby Sage. Our greatest gift is you!’ she wrote.
Lavena made a spectacular entry on Love Island, stating her intention to’steal the other girls’ boyfriends,’ before being dumped soon after.
She was formerly in a relationship with Premier League player Wilfried Zaha, who is presently signed to Crystal Palace.
‘I’m confident and I’m ready for love,’ Lavena remarked about her search for love at the time.
‘I’ve been on my own for four years so whoever I meet in there I will fall for.’
She added that it had taken her ‘a while’ to get over her last relationship and ‘enjoy myself before I could commit to someone’, but that she was ready to find love again.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
