Sharing a sweet photo of her and Stuart cuddling their little girl, she wrote: 'By the end of this year we’ll be adding a new little member to our family. It’s still hard to believe but the little kicks are certainly helping it sink in! ❤️ 

'The thought of welcoming another newborn fills me with so much joy, but one of the things that excites me the most is the thought of watching our baby girl Annabella becoming a big sister.  

'I know she’s going to be the most loving and wonderful big sister, and I can’t wait to see their bond grow'.

The cricket sensation and the Ego hitmaker met back in 2012 through mutual friends, but didn't begin dating until six years later.

A friend asked Mollie to send Stuart a get-well message while he was recovering from an injury, marking their first link.

But they didn't strike up their romance until 2018, once Mollie appeared on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. 

Despite forging a strong bond, the couple briefly split for five months at the time, but rekindled their relationship in 2019.
