The actress Michelle Keegan posted: “Congratulations darling.”

Former Love Island contestant Montana Brown was also along the well-wishers, posting: “Stop this is amazing! Congratulations.”

The couple are already parents to a boy, Cree, who was born in December 2020.

Her husband, the former Manchester United star, has three children with his first wife Rebecca Ellison, who died of breast cancer in 2015.
