The couple married in August 2012 after they met at her 30th birthday party - and, despite being happy to share their baby news now, Dawn has previously said that she hates it when people ask her or her partner about their plans to start a family.

She said: “I think it’s a really natural question to ask and I totally understand why people do."

“But I get slightly shirty because Chris could do seven interviews on the trot and not get asked once about me or if we’re going to have kids.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
