There is something about one of our Love Island faves announcing life-changing news that has us all kinds of excited.

In the eight years that the dating show has been part of our jam-packed reality TV-loving lives we have been introduced to a whole host of Islanders. Some will go down in history and be remembered forever; Molly Mae Hague and Wes Nelson for example, others not so much...

But one OG Love Island contestant who will ALWAYS have a place in our hearts is season one winner, Jessica Hayes.

Taking part in Love Island 2015, Jess was a true girls girl and an icon with it, she ended up winning the show alongside Max Morley.

The duo were chalk and cheese but for that one fateful summer opposites did indeed attract and they left the villa in a couple and £50k richer. The romance was short-lived and nowadays Jess and Max are very much not together but are both parents to their very own mini-me's.

Now it turns out that Jess will be creating another doppelgänger, as over the Christmas hols she announced on social media that she will be expanding her family in the new year.

Posting a super cute vid on her instagram grid, the Love Island winner wrote.
"Going into 2024 with the best gift ever ❤️
I think you all probably know what this means to me and how much I adore being a mum 🥰
Truly blessed 🌈🤍 
Excited for our future and to watch my darlings grow up together 🤍"

OK somebody pass the tissues and another bottle of Prosecco we need to wipe away these tears and pour a celebratory glass.

Jess's TOWIE pals Junaid Ahmed and Lauen Goodger both commented on the post, with Junaid writing, "Congratulations darling ❤️❤️❤️" and Lauren adding, "Excited for you 🤍 congratulations xx"

One of Jess's fans even commented, "In floods 😓😓" and honestly same, hun.

Jess is currently mum to son Presley, but sadly had a miscarriage in 2020 where she lost her son, Teddy at 19 weeks. Jess also revealed that she lost a child earlier on in the year.

The reality TV star has been open about the pain and at the time told her followers, "I debated posting it feels really strange to open up and feel vulnerable but you know I’m always open and honest with you all and it’s hard to pretend I’m ok as it’s been a rough week."

Jess's honesty and openness has been praised by her followers, friends and fans with countless people adding their love for Jess on the most recent post.

"The most amazing journey. We have very similar journeys and we are also expecting our rainbow baby ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations to you all xx"
