Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock has announced that she’s pregnant and expecting her first child with fiance Andre Gray.

The Confetti singer shared the joyful news with her Instagram followers on Tuesday with a stunning photo shoot of her cradling her baby bump, a year after announcing she and Andre were engaged.

She wrote in the caption: ‘We’ve dreamed about this moment for so long and we can’t believe the dream is finally coming true… we can’t wait to meet you. ❤️😍.’

Leigh-Anne’s bandmate Perrie Edwards led the congratulations and commented: ‘I can’t stop staring at these pictures. You’re a vision. Ily both so much! CONGRATULATIONS my beautiful sister! ♥️.’

Jade Thirlwall added: ‘Love you so much 💚 look at this family.’

Leigh-Anne’s sister Sairah revealed her excitement and said: ‘My baby sister is going to be a mummy 😭 can’t wait to share this amazing experience with you sis! @sian_sommers8421 is going to be one busy Aunty.’

Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown celebrated the lovely news and said: ‘Congrats <3 soooo happy for you guys x.’

Alexandra Burke added: ‘Omggggbabe !!!! Yes yes and yes!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so happy for you!’

It comes after Leigh-Anne and Andre announced their engagement in May 2020.

Watford footballer Andre popped the question during a romantic evening in their garden during lockdown.

Leigh-Anne shared the news in an Instagram post with a photo of her and Andre kissing while flashing her engagement ring, and wrote: ‘Guys.. wtf has just happened… He bloody did it, and I said yes.

‘I’m marrying my soul mate, the man of my flipping dreams… I am lost for words, so I think I’m just going to go cry some more @andregray_ I love you so much. My world is literally complete.’

The pop star had earlier shared a tribute to her now fiancé to mark four years together, telling fans: ‘Happy Anniversary baby… how has 4 years gone so fast!

‘All I know is I’m another year more crazy about you. I couldn’t love you harder if I tried.’

Leigh-Anne and Andre, both 29, first started dating in 2016, and she had told fans that she was still waiting for him to ask her to marry him not long before the footballer popped the question.

No doubt the baby’s Little Mix aunties will be spoiling Leigh-Anne’s little one rotten.

In 2016, Leigh-Anne asked the girls to make a pact about getting pregnant at the same time and said in an interview with The Guardian: ‘Can we all just promise we’ll have children around the same time to form another band?’

Jade was all for it and suggested: ‘Or, have them at the same time so we can all come back together.’

Perrie then laughed: ‘Oh my God, see what we’re like? Now we’re having our children together!’
