Charlotte Crosby has shared the joyous news that she’s pregnant with her second child.

The Geordie Shore star and Celebrity Big Brother winner, 34, is already a mum to daughter Alba, born in October 2022.

Now, she and fiancé Jake Ankers, who popped the question last November, are set to expand their brood.

Taking to Instagram tonight, the reality TV favourite shared a video of adorable family footage, announcing both her pregnancy and a new clothing range.

‘In my babies and business ERA ✌🏼 delighted to announce baby Ankers number 2 is due January 2025 and also delighted to announce @peppergirlsclub AW collection is live now RIGHT NOW!!!!’, her caption read.

Charlotte added: ‘I really wanted to combine these 2 moments as everything I’ve been building with Pepper over the last few years is for my family and im so proud of it!! We are so excited to be a family of 4! 🤍🤍🤍 ‘

She was quickly inundated with sweet congratulatory messages, with co-star Holly Hagan commenting: ‘Absolutely love this so so soooo much 😍😍😍😍 love you all!’

Sophie Kasaei also joked that she has ‘no idea’ how she kept her pal’s news a secret for so long.

‘I’m so proud of you forever my girl!! I can’t wait for the day to come we all have our families together! And also can’t we just take a minute at how UNREAL you look wowowow that range!!! Love u so much ❤️’, she commented.

In her announcement video, Charlotte, who joined Geordie Shore in 2011, models her range of athleisure, skipping to a coffee shop and ordering a ‘decaf’ drink before sitting by a beach to work on her laptop.

A later clip shows her walking out of a clinic, holding what appear to be ultrasound photos in her hand.

‘I’ve just been to my appointment, the pictures are so cute,’ she says in a voiceover.

‘We’ve really gotta make the most of these times while we’re still a family of three,’ she adds as Charlotte, Jake, and firstborn Alba frolick on the sand.

‘I can’t believe that Alba is gonna be a big sister,’ she concludes, as a close-up shot captures the influencer cradling her growing bump.

Charlotte, who named her firstborn after her late grandmother, told fans earlier this year that she and husband-to-be Jake were ‘trying’ for another baby.

Having jetted off to Spain to see how their new home was coming along, the couple enjoyed some rare alone time in April.

With a glass of wine in hand, Charlotte posted on Instagram: ‘Special time just us two. Trying to make baby number 2.’

Jake popped the question almost one year ago while they were holidaying in Dubai.

Announcing their engagement to the world, Charlotte wrote on social media: ‘Happiest woman in the world. Yes yes yes and yes @jake_ankers you are my best friend you are my life I CANT BELIEVE IM ENGAGED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.’

‘Best night ever,’ she declared.

Charlotte started dating businessman Jake in late 2021, announcing that they were due to become parents the following spring.

They met through mutual friends following years of Charlotte’s love life making headlines.

It was reported that they started seeing each other ‘casually’ before going public in January 2022.
