Kimberley first let on that she was expecting in February, describing the news as "crazy”.
“I can’t believe I’m actually going to be a mother and there’s this thing inside me, waving its hands around and wriggling. I’m so excited," she said. "I feel like I’ve had to live in a selfish way for too long and now I’m looking forward to giving that up for somebody else.”
The pregnancy wasn't without incident. In March she was forced to reassure fans that her "little munchkin" was fine after falling and breaking her wrist.
