Janette and Aljaz announced their baby news in an exclusive interview with HELLO! back in February. The couple explained how they had been preparing to go through IVF treatment when they found out the happy news.

He added: "We were preparing for IVF mentally and physically and then it was just a relief to finally have that positive test. I have so much respect for any parent that goes through IVF, not just for what it puts them through physically but mentally too."

And in a recent BBC interview, Janette told Alex Jones: "I feel good. We are very very lucky, very blessed to have a great pregnancy. The baby is doing really well, so yes we are happy, so so happy.
