TOWIE's Sam Mucklow and Shelby Tribble announce she's pregnant with adorable Instagram picture

TOWIE stars Shelby Tribble and Sam Mucklow have announced they're expecting their first baby together.

The couple both shared a very cute picture to Instagram, holding up their ultrasound scan, as Shelby cradled her small baby bump.

They both captioned the picture with the same poem: "Something fantastic is making us glad, we’re changing our names to Mum and Dad."

Shelby and Sam have been friends for a few years, and were on and off romantically for a while.

But they've been officially together since May 2019, only a few weeks after after a huge argument, in which he called her a "s**g".

Sam and Shelby's happy news comes just a month after Sam's older sister Billi revealed she's going to become a mum for the third time with her footballer fiancé Andy Carroll.

Last year, Shelby hinted babies were on the cards for her and Sam.

She told MailOnline: "For me personally we think about having babies, marriage.

"He’s got so many qualities that I love in a man and I know that he will make a great partner and dad because of how he is with me."

Talking about why she's with Sam, she added: "He has so much to offer his work ethic, he works hard, he makes me laugh, caring and supportive.

"To me he’s an amazing man so why would I not see myself marrying and having kids with him? I really, really love him so of course that is the future. We want to get married and have kids. I definitely see that. I love him so so much."

Alluding to the fact he's been with a lot of girls in the past, and there has been some trust issues in the past, Shelby also insisted she now trusts him.

She said: "Some people do have a flirty personality at the end of the day, he comes home to me. That’s his personality. I trust him."
