Comedian Jack Whitehall has announced he is expecting his first child with girlfriend Roxy Horner.

In a sweet post on social media, Jack and Roxy shared their happy news as they gushed alongside their scan photos.

He captioned his post: "And I thought I wasn’t getting enough attention when the dog arrived…"

Jack, 34, and model Roxy, 31, beamed in the black and white snaps and were flooded with sweet messages from fans.

Jack has become a household name after appearing in numerous panel shows in the late 2000s - such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Would I Lie To You?

"We had a miscarriage last year and so there was a part of me that was worried to open up too soon about this baby because I was so worried something would happen again and I didn’t want to have to kind of tell the world," Roxy told Hello!

She revealed the couple found out she was pregnant whilst on a trip to Australia, visiting Roxy's parents.

"We found out the same week my nan passed away. There's a part of me that feels like my nan knew we were trying for a baby and maybe this was her gift to us," she added.

Roxy also admitted Jack had the "sweetest reaction" to the news and was "so excited".

The couple already know their baby's gender as they found out as soon as they could.

The couple met in 2020 and speaking about how the pandemic made them grow closer, Jack explained: "Weirdly that was quite nice because we spent a lot of time together and it accelerates the relationship in a way.

"Then when lockdown ended, there was a lot of things we realised. We'd never gone to see a film together. We'd never been to a restaurant in England because we met in Australia."

In 2021, Roxy praised her boyfriend when he supported her through a health scare while backstage at the Brit Awards.

Roxy had to be resuscitated by paramedics after collapsing and was taken to the hospital to be told she has Type 1 diabetes.

Posting a picture of her with Jack, she said: "I'm so lucky and grateful for my man, my biggest support through everything.

"I don't know what I would have done this past year without you."

The coronavirus shut down the world soon after and they opted to quarantine together in London in 2020.
