Laura Whitmore has announced she is expecting her second child with husband Iain Stirling
Laura Whitmore is pregnant with her second child. The former Love Island host has confirmed she and husband Iain Stirling are set to welcome their second baby into the world.
The TV presenter confessed to fans she had been hiding her baby bump for a good while, posting a string of photos of her body from one angle and another which clearly showed her baby bump.
Taking to Instagram to announce her pregnancy, she wrote: “Instagram V Reality – Spoiler: It wasn’t just a big meal mama ate. She’s been cooking away! I’d like to thank stretchy pants and travel sick bags.”

Laura had previously confessed she felt best about her body when she was pregnant. She said knowing what her body was doing and achieving made her feel more confident than ever.
“The best I’ve ever felt about my body was when I was pregnant. I think it’s the best I’ve ever looked and weirdly the most confident, maybe because I knew what my body was doing was pretty incredible,” she said.
“What I found difficult was the chatter around my body, people congratulating me on looking well but saying that the fact I was still dressing up to film was not how I should be behaving… as though I should be at home hiding away.”

Laura told Grazia how she had not prioritised her body following her pregnancy but after more thought and focus on her figure, she realised the best thing to do was to “be as kind to it then as she was when she was pregnant.
“I think you spend the whole pregnancy counting down until you give birth, you kind of forget the big job is what comes after. I chose to breastfeed exclusively; everything was about my baby – I didn’t really think about my body as something for me so when I did get it back, I made a conscious decision to be as kind to it then as I was when I was pregnant,” she explained.
“But I didn’t notice when I stopped feeding, I wasn’t looking after myself, drinking water or eating the way I did when I was expecting/feeding. You almost forget about yourself as your body is not the priority.”
Laura and Iain are already parents to Stevie, who they welcomed in March 2021. The couple rarely share snaps of their little one but every now and again, Laura will share a sweet update about their baby girl.
