Ellie Warner disclosed a worrying health condition on Gogglebox last night.
The pregnant hairdresser, 32, is expecting her first child with partner Nat Eddleston, who almost lost his life in an accident last year.
The couple can't wait to meet their baby boy, but pregnancy hasn't been plain sailing for Ellie, who revealed she has gestational diabetes - while watching an episode of The Apprentice.
Making a joke about business mogul, Lord Alan Sugar, the star told her sister Izzi: "Alan Sugar is my only sugar fix now I have got gestational diabetes."
Gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy in women who don't already have the diabetes.
High blood sugar can develop at any time during pregnancy, but it's more common in the second or third trimester, usually disappearing after the baby is born.
Treatment focuses on managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise and sometimes medication.
The bubbly Northerner announced she was expecting with Nat on Boxing Day, after a hellish year as her partner recovered from his near death accident.
Nat was struck by a car while walking home after a night out in Leeds in March.
Ellie immediately took time off from work and Gogglebox to be by her boyfriend's side, as it was reported he was on life support.
Thankfully by May, Nat was at home and appeared to be recovering well as he was spotted doing some shopping while wearing a neck brace to help him recover from his injuries.
Fast-forward seven months and the couple announced they were expecting - sending fans into a frenzy.
Dressed in a multi-coloured smock dress, Ellie placed her hand on her bump and wrote: "Belly full of Christmas Dinner".
Fans rushed to the comments section to share their congratulations with many telling the hairdresser how happy they were for her.
One wrote: "Ahhhhh, the secret is officially out, hurrah. Congratulations Ellie and Nat."
While added: "Congratulations! Nat is looking well after the accident! Exciting 2023 ahead for you both all the best xx."
Ellie revealed the gender of her little one during a recent episode of Gogglebox - sharing that she is expecting a baby boy.
Joined by Izzi's children Bessie and Bobby, the telly star told her tots they were going to have a baby cousin as they patted her blossoming bump.
"Bessie, what's in Ellie's tummy? What baby?," Izzi asked her daughter during the show, who sweetly responded: "A boy".
