Marnie Simpson is pregnant with her second child, with fiancé Casey Johnson.
The Geordie Shore star, who already shares son Rox with the former X Factor singer, confirmed the news in a new interview, revealing her baby news was initially a ‘shock’.
Speaking to new! magazine, the 29-year-old said: ‘We’re so excited and super happy. It was a bit of a shock but we’re just so thrilled!’
Her pregnancy journey hasn’t been pleasant so far as she has been struck by severe sickness, leaving her struggling to eat.
‘With Rox I felt so healthy and glowing and I was a ray of sunshine, but this time I genuinely feel like the walking dead,’ she continued.
Dad-to-be Casey, 26, added: ‘I’m really excited. Obviously you’re always going to be a little bit scared, too.’

The couple, who met on Single AF in 2017 and announced their engagement last year, have not decided on whether they will find out the gender of their little one – with the reality star wanting to keep it a surprise.
Marnie previously opened up about plans to have more children after suffering a ‘traumatic’ 28-hour labour with Rox in 2019.
She lost two pints of blood and had two blood transfusions during the ordeal, and later suffered from a chronic bladder infection – something that encouraged her to explore other options for when she expands her family.
In a chat with Metro.co.uk, she said: ‘If I was ever to do it myself again, I think I’d get a C-section.

‘I’m never doing that again, it was really bad. I was so poorly.’
Discussing the myth that holding your newborn immediately makes you forget the pains of childbirth, she was having none of it, and added: ‘I don’t know where that comes from.
‘Honestly, that is the falsest thing I have heard. I haven’t forgotten it and I don’t think I ever will. Maybe if people didn’t have any complications and their labour was quite straightforward – maybe they can forget…. even then, I definitely couldn’t.
‘It was just an indescribable pain.’
