Love Island's Montana Brown announces pregnancy with first child

Love Island star Montana Brown has broke the news that she's pregnant.

The 27-year-old reality TV star shared the news this evening via social media, telling her followers that she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Mark O'Connor in the new year.

With a sweet video capturing her pregnancy journey so far, she wrote: "Baby O'Connor coming next summer."

The Mirror reports that in the cute footage, Montana shared the moment she and Mark realised that they were set to become parents - alongside touching snaps of the couple on a recent holiday. Montana can also be seen nursing her bump in a bikini during the lavish holiday, as the sweet video documents the first months of Montana's pregnancy.

It also showed the star attending her first scan as she and Mark listen to their baby's heartbeat for the first time in a touching moment.

As Montana shared her happy news on Instagram this evening, the star's fans and famous friends rushed to congratulate the mum-to-be.

"Ahhh congratulations," fellow Love Island alum Faye Winter wrote to the star, as former Queen of the Jungle Vicky Pattison added: "Omg mon!!!! Stop!! Just yesterday you were congratulating me about my family growing. Mate I'm so happy for you."

Zara McDermott commented: "Just remembered how you told me this summer how excited you were for this chapter in your life!!! And here it is!! Congratulations angel."

Amy Hart, who is also expecting her first baby next year, wrote: "Amazing congrats!"

Montana shot to fame thanks to her stint on ITV2 show Love Island in 2017 and lasted an impressive 50 days in the villa, but did not quite make it to the final. The couple first went public when they were spotted together in the Caribbean in January - which was six months after Montana split from model boyfriend Elliott Reeder, and they try to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
