Former winter Love Island contestant Shaughna Phillips has shared some exciting news with her 1.4 million followers, revealing she is pregnant with her first child. The reality television star, who appeared on the ITV2 show's sixth season but failed to find love, announced the joyful news to her Instagram page with a moving video montage documenting her pregnancy journey so far.
She captioned the video, which showed the 28-year-old attending an ultrasound, her pregnancy test and pictures of the baby scan, with: "Our greatest chapter yet".
Also included in the video was a clip of her telling fellow Love Isanders Demi Jones and Lauren Mahon her news - both reacting with shock and elation. She ended the video revealing the due date of the baby as being March 2023.

Demi too posted the joyful announcement to her own Instagram with the caption: "My little Love Island mumma to be @shaughnaphillips I’m beyond proud of you! You are such a special person and I’m so grateful life put us together you are going to be the best mumma!! I can’t wait to meet him or her and be your little Aunty DemDems".
It's unknown who the father of the baby is, however in April Shaughna revealed that she had a new mystery man who has been kept out of the limelight.
Celebrity pals and fans of the star soon showered Shaughna with congratulations, flooding her comments section with well wishes.
Loose Women star, Coleen Nolan, wrote: "OMG…. I’m soooo happy for you, congratulations xxx" alongside the former host of the summer and winter Love Island show, Laura Whitmore - whose replacement has recently been announced - who commented: "It’s the best! So happy for you x"
Dr Zoe Williams said: "OMG congratulations. Just thrilled for you. You’re going to be a sensational Mama. Love you" as well as Vicky Pattison and The Azaylia Foundation founder Safiyya Vorajee who added: "Omg!!! Congratulations beautiful girl" and "Congratulations the biggest gift ever so much love".
It seems to be a good year for past Love Islanders, as Shaughna joins a list of the show's former stars to have been lucky in love with various relationship milestones being passed. Molly-Mae Hague unveiled her pregnancy in early October also with a video montage of her and her boyfriend, Tommy Fury, carressing the growing baby bump as well as Amy Hart, who announced her pregnancy in August of this year.
Callum Macleod also popped the question to his long-time girlfriend in mid-October.
