Nicola Hughes has announced that she's expecting her first child with husband Charlie Tupper.
The former Made In Chelsea (MIC) star, 32, shared the joyful announcement on Instagram as she unveiled her blossoming baby bump for the first time.
The Irish star delighted her fans when she posted a stunning photo of her lying in a bikini while her husband Charlie placed his hands on her bare bump.
Alongside the snap, Nicola simply penned: 'Hi baby'.
Her post has since been inundated with messages of congratulations by her famous pals.
Made in Chelsea co-star Emily Blackwell wrote: "Awwwww unreal, congratulations my lovely xxxxx".
Fellow cast member Tiffany Watson wrote: "So exciting and happy for you," followed by three love heart emojis.
Model Imogen Thomas, MIC star Lucy Watson and Geordie Shore favourite Vicky Pattison also offered their congratulations.
Charlie kept his announcement short and sweet, reposting Nicola's snap to his Instastory, and adding a smiley emoji.
Nicola and Charlie married in August in a lavish ceremony at Botleys Mansion in Surrey, after getting engaged in September last year in Ibiza.
The pair had been planning to tie the knot in France, but due to complications caused by the pandemic they moved the ceremony to the UK.
“We wanted a three-day wedding abroad, near a vineyard, but the way it turned out it was so nice and I think it was meant to be.
"We had the best day, we were so happy,” Nicola told OK! Magazine.
Nicola walked down the aisle in front of 100 loved ones and friends, including MIC cast members such as Tiffany and Lucy. Kate Moss' half sister Lottie, was also a guest.
The model recalled how she "burst into tears", when she saw her husband-to-be standing at the alter.
She was walked down the aisle by her dad Des, and to Christina Perri's A Thousand Years being played on the piano.
Speaking after the wedding to, Nicola talked about the pair's future: “We’re just really excited to plan our honeymoon and see where we can go, and then we’re going to buy a house and hopefully start a family one day."
Discussing their desire to have children and start a family, Nicola said she would love to have at least two kids.
Nicola joined the E4 show's ninth series in 2015, as the girlfriend of Alex Mytton. The pair had reportedly met in 2014 while he was DJ-ing at a hotel.
However she left at the end of series 11 in 2016, after her relationship with Alex ended, with him breaking up with her via text and cheating rumours circling.
She has also appeared on Irish reality show Exiles: Vancouver, about six young people emigrating to Canada.
Among other brands, Nicola has modelled for Hollister and Paul Costello.
