The couple chose to share the news with a cute pic on Instagram
Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole, who is already dad to four-year-old Aurelia, has revealed that he and wife Zoe are now expecting their second child.
While many of the stars from this year's Strictly Come Dancing series have been posting behind-the-scenes shots of training, Brendan - who is partnered with Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins - decided to reveal a baby bombshell instead!
The ballroom professional took to Instagram to share a clip of his other half clutching her growing baby as she kicked one leg up in celebration.
