The reality TV star already shares a one-year-old son, Arlo, with her husband-to-be, football star Andy Carroll.

Andy already has two children from a previous relationship, but this will only be Billi's second time being a mum.

The couple delighted their fans when they announced their pregnancy over Instagram back in May. The mum-of-one posted an adorable photo to Instagram to share her happy news, showing herself and her little boy on the beach on holiday.

In the image, Billi is sporting a peach bikini that shows off her discreet baby bump, whilst she holds son Arlo on her hip and places a hand on her tummy. Adorably, little Arlo does the same, and gazes down at her pregnant belly.

The 28-year-old star captioned her photo with some fun, baby related hashtags to make the news clear, 'Suns Out Bump Out 👶🏼🍼🐣🤰🏼💗💙#BabyCarrollOnTheWay #BabyOnBoard 😁😍'

Speaking previously about her wedding plans to the sportsman, Billi told OK!, 'I wanted to spend a few months enjoying Arlo as a baby before we started getting busy with wedding stuff.

'I definitely want a massive wedding, though.'

The pair welcomed son Arlo in June 2015, who will turn two this coming month.
