Love Island star Montana Brown is pregnant!

The reality TV star, 27, shared the news she is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Mark O'Connor next year with her fans on social media this evening.

"Baby O’Connor coming next summer," the mum-to-be captioned a sweet video capturing her pregnancy journey so far.

In the cute footage, Montana shares the moment she and Mark learned they were set to become parents earlier this year, alongside cute snaps of the happy couple on holiday recently.

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.

"Mine and Mark's relationship was born out of the second lockdown.

"I feel like good things always come when you are not expecting it," Montana previously said of their romance to new! magazine.

"It's been lovely to feel in a good headspace. Last year I convinced myself that I didn't want to meet anyone - I'd be on my own forever instead, but he came along when I wasn't looking."

Mark - who used to play for Chiswick and Wales first teams - reportedly met Montana in one of the former rugby player's gyms during the second national lockdown.

Montana was coupled with Alex Beattie on Love Island and they left the show as a couple.

However, it wasn't built to last and they confirmed they had split a few weeks later, with Montana seemingly blaming Alex as she felt he "hadn't been the same" since they left the show.

"Alex and I have decided to split. Making our relationship work on the outside has been hard," she said.

"He hasn't been the same since coming out of the villa. Despite this we are still close and I will always support him."
