Liz McClarnon pregnant with first child

In a video upload shared last month (May 13), Liz was captured sitting on a bench from behind. Emotional music played in the background as she got up and showed off her huge baby bump while wearing dungarees.

“I’ve been keeping a secret from you… And I’ve mostly kept myself off social media because sometimes it was hard to smile… But after years of sometimes quite painful IVF and quite dark times,” she wrote over the clip.

But after years of sometimes quite painful IVF and quite dark times, I’m pregnant!

“I’m pregnant!” Liz added while rubbing her bump. “We feel like we’ve been given the world!”

In her caption, the Whole Again hitmaker admitted she planned to record a video talking to the camera, but got “too emotional”.

“I just can’t believe we’re here,” she said. “So many have been through exactly what I went through and worse. I want to share what I can and add my voice and ears to those who already help others understand or deal with all that comes with ivf and loss after so much hope.”

Liz expressed her gratitude as she explained how “grateful” she was to have “been a part of some beautifully supportive communities”.

Liz confirms the sex of baby

During an appearance on Loose Women today (May 11), Liz sat down with Christine Lampard, GK Barry, and Janet Street Porter, where the music chart-topper discussed her pregnancy journey so far in an exclusive interview.

Liz revealed she had previously struggled to have children and had suffered two miscarriages. However, in positive news, the Be With You singer confirmed she and her husband were having a baby boy.

When asked by GK what advice she had for those trying to have children, Liz admitted she found it hard to offer any guidance. That said, she stated it was important to have “hope”.
