She went on: “We know that we are beyond lucky to have a second miracle in our lives, and feel so grateful to all the magnificent doctors and nurses who aided us in our IVF journey.

“It was long, exhausting, and utterly devastating at times, but I wouldn’t change a single thing given that it all led me here to my two incredible boys… one my heart and the other my soul. I hope sharing this can be a source of inspiration for those parents in-waiting… I know the odds are against us but it can happen!!”

The Total Wipeout star’s announcement was met with many congratulatory messages in the comments section. Among those joining in the celebration was Kirsty Gallacher. The presenter wrote: “Oh my. Congratulations to you all, simply gorgeous news! So much love xxx”

Natalie Appleton also wrote: “Wow how wonderful congratulations to you all!! xxxx,” while Lisa Faulkner penned: “Such fantastic news. Congratulations,” alongside four red love heart emojis.

In 2021, Amanda and husband Julian Okines welcomed their first child following their secret pregnancy. As Amanda, then 48, welcomed son Phoenix, she gushed: “Phoenix, Julian and I just wanted to say the most incredible THANK YOU to everyone for your gorgeous messages we are so overwhelmed and feeling the love.

“It’s hard to reply to everyone on zero sleep! but please know we’ve read every single one and have shed many happy tears reading them. Photo: by Daddy @julianokines.”

Amanda said at the time that now their son is “finally here,” they realise that they have “never been more ready” to be his parents. Addressing her husband, she added: “My heart bursts with love for you [Julian]. You have been my solid rock over these years, encouraging me to hang in and keep going.

“After every tear, every tumble, every heartache, your positivity made everything seem possible again. It’s thanks to you, your energy, and your enthusiasm, that we are all here together today.”

She had kept the happy news four years ago out of the public eye initially after previously suffering heartbreaking miscarriages.
