Tanya Burr has shared the joyful news that she is pregnant with her first child.
The former YouTube star turned actress made the announcement on Tuesday with a sweet photo of her baby bump.
She has not revealed the identity of her boyfriend, who she has been dating for at least a couple of years, but his hands were seen cradling her bare baby bump in the black and white photo.
‘We love you so much already little 🥜[peanut],’ she commented.
Leading congratulatory messages, Tanya’s friend and fellow YouTuber Zoe Sugg commented: ‘The best neeeeewwwssss! ♥️♥️♥️ Love you both xxx.’

Grace Victory said alongside several heart eye emoji: ‘Omg stop.’
Tanya’s former sister-in-law and beauty guru Nicola Chapman commented: ‘Congratulations xx.’
Amelia Liana joined in: ‘Awww so cute! Congratulations Tanya.’
The news comes just days after Tanya celebrated her 33rd birthday and she’s currently enjoying a countryside getaway in Southwold, Suffolk.
She confirmed her relationship with the mystery man in an interview last year, telling The Telegraph: ‘I’m very loved up. It’s very exciting.’

On her decision to keep her boyfriend out of the spotlight, the actress said: ‘I overshared at the beginning [of my online career] without realising the effect it would have, so I really reined it in.
‘I’ve been quite private for a few years now and my audience are used to it, so they don’t expect anything any more.’
Tanya was previously married to childhood sweetheart Jim Chapman but they announced their split in early 2019, four years after tying the knot.
Jim, 34, has since gone on to marry model Sarah Tarleton and they welcomed their daughter Margot last September.
Opening up about her marriage split, Tanya said in November 2020: ‘I’ve been there, where I’ve seen someone saying, “Ooh, have you heard so-and-so and so-and-so have split?” and then thought, “Let me look that up”, it’s what people do.

‘I’m not angry with anyone. People are just being people. It’s hard and horrible. I’ll never google myself again.’
She added: ‘All that matters is what Jim and I think, it’s boring – he’s still my best friend. We’ve been best friends for 12 years, people will want some drama from it. We’re always going to be in each other’s lives, hopefully.’
