Congratulations are in order for Chanelle Hayes who has revealed she's pregnant with her second child!

Earlier this year the former Big Brother star revealed she wanted to extend her family: " I want to have more children – not right now obviously because it's basically impossible – but it's something I want," she said on This Morning.

And now Chanelle who is already mum to six-year-old Blakely (who she had with ex-boyfriend Matthew Bates) is due to have her second child with her boyfriend Ryan Oates in September.

The reality star whose weight has fluctuated over the years previously admitted she's happier with her fuller figure as its easier to maintain compared to when she was a size eight. However, in January Chanelle admitted on This Morning that she wants to lose weight as she's currently on painkillers because of her size 18 frame.

She revealed to the presenters that she realised she was too heavy when her body was in pain because of her weight. Opening up she said: "I'm an 18 now, I'm too heavy. I'm on painkillers every day, purely because I'm too heavy for my frame.

"I can barely get up with my back. And it's more so when my left knee is hurting. I'm getting out of breath doing things, that's not cool."

The pregnant star revealed she gained lots of weight because of "bad food choices" and not going to the gym.

The yummy mummy – who was on the brink of type 2 diabetes - planned to get back to a size 12-14 but now she's expecting a little one we doubt that will be her main concern.

Congratulations Chanelle and Ryan!
