GIRLS Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has confirmed she is pregnant and expecting her first baby.
The 40-year-old singer revealed her heartwarming news in a sweet Christmas post on Instagram.
Looking radiant, Nicola showed off her growing bump as she posed by the Christmas tree.
Nicola confirmed she was five months pregnant in the post with the impending arrival set to be her first baby with Team GB footballer fiance, Mitch Hahn.
The Call The Shots hitmaker wrote online: “Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families.
“We’ve been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant!
“We can’t wait to meet our little one in the spring.”
In another snap, Nicola cuddled up to her beau Mitch in a rare snap together.
Nicola has been appearing in hit West End musical Hadestown since September of this year and has secretly been wowing audiences every night whilst pregnant.
Her run in the play is due to come to an end towards the end of January.
Racing to congratulate the star, Rochelle Humes wrote under the post: “The best news ever, congratulations gang.”
Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan then added: “Congratulations. The BEST news!!!!”
Nicola has often kept her romance with Mitch under wraps but it was revealed she had secretly become engaged to the footie star in summer last year – shortly after the Girls Aloud reunion arena tour.
Fans first noticed Nicola wearing a sparkling diamond ring during the group’s headline concert at Brighton Pride in August last year.
The news of the engagement was confirmed shortly after.
