Kendall shared her pregnancy announcement back in September on her Instagram profile. The Love Island star hared the happy news with her followers as she showed off her ultrasound scan photos with her footballer partner Andrew.

Kendall looked stunning as she posed for a snap holding her tummy in a white bikini. Andrew wore black swim trunks and an open white linen shirt as he held the four scan pictures. Posting at the time, Kendall wrote: "Mummy & Daddy. After 5 amazing years together we couldn’t be happier to say WE’RE HAVING A BABY!!."

At the time of her announcement, Kendall's celeb pals rushed to congratulate the couple on their news, as Megan McKenna said: "Congratulations to you both xxx." Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague added: "Omg how amazing. Congratulations."

While Lucy Fallon commented: "OMG!!!!!!! My dream was right. So happy for you guys. Amazing news xxxxxx."

Kendall starred on the fourth season of the hit ITV2 show when she entered the villa as one of the original Islanders. However, she was dumped on day six after Adam Collard chose to couple up with Rosie Williams instead. Kendall became the first Islander of her series to be dumped, despite being a Miss England finalist.

She has since found love with footballer Andrew after her stint on the show. She went on Love Island to get over her ex-fiancé.

Before appearing on Love Island, Kendall was in a five-year relationship with ex Michael Clark. Michael popped the question on the beach at sunset during a romantic break to the Dominican Republic. But just three months into their engagement he turned round and said he didn’t love her anymore.
