Megan McKenna, a reality personality, has received congratulations from prominent pals following the announcement that she is having her first child with boyfriend Oliver Burke.
The TV star, who has been on X Factor: Celebrity, Celebrity Big Brother, The Only Way Is Essex, and Celebrity Ex On The Beach, proposed to footballer Oliver only a few months ago.
And now, the couple is growing their family while also planning their wedding.
Megan, who won The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019, took to Instagram on Thursday evening to disclose a ‘little secret’: she and Oliver were about to become kids.
‘We’ve been keeping a little secret from you all,’ she began on her Stories.
In a gorgeous post featuring the couple kissing while showing off a positive pregnancy test, she wrote: ‘A little bit of you & a little bit of me… now we’re a family ♥️.’
Friends and followers flocked to the comment section to share their congratulations, including Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, who herself is mum to daughter Alba.
She wrote: ‘ONG I’m freaking out… I’m so happy for you Megan.’
Stacey Solomon shared crying emojis and said ‘congratulations to you both,’ while Gogglebox icon Scarlett Moffat said she was ‘so happy for you both’.
Love Island’s Mauraa Higgins wrote: ‘Omg congratulations to you both this is incredible,’ while influencer Mrs Hinch said it was ‘just incredible’.
In her announcement, a video montage showed the expecting mother showing off her baby belly, looking at her ultrasound in wonder, and passionately kissing Oliver as they absorbed the news.
The good news comes less than a year after Oliver proposed to Megan in June of last year.
The couple’s romance has been a whirlwind, with them dating for around five months in 2023 before taking the major next step.
Oliver planned for a romantic boat excursion, but Megan was unable to appreciate the surroundings since she was blinded for the length of the journey. Soon, Oliver led her to the beach for the big surprise.
He went on one knee on the rose petal-covered decking, and the entire beautiful event was captured on tape.
Megan uploaded a video of the wonderful occasion with followers and penned a euphoric description.
‘YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible,’ she began.
‘I love you Oliver Burke… here’s to forever my future husband.’
Oliver replied: ‘I promise to love you for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to grow old with you my wife to be.
‘I love you. Forever. And always.’
