Amy Childs gushed that she was "happier than ever" as she announced she was expecting her first baby with her jailbird boyfriend Bradley Wright, who spent five months in prison before reuniting with Amy in March this year.
Sources say that the couple, who dated for 15 months prior to their recoupling, have considered getting married before the baby's arrival.
A source said: "They've already discussed having a small ceremony with close family and friends sometimes over Christmas and then having a lavish bash abroad after the baby arrives."

Amy, 26, and Bradley, 25, were plagued with problems when their relationship began after they met in 2014. Bradley was arrested last October for handling goods, right after the former TOWIE star chucked him out of her home when she caught him sexting another woman.
And while she knows the baby won't fix their problems, Amy's determined to do whatever it takes to make their relationship work.
"She wants Bradley to agree to relationship counselling, as well as allowing her to see his phone and computer to build up trust."
