Brendan Cole is to become a father for the second time.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star took to social media on Monday (18.09.17) to announce he and his wife Zoe are expecting their second child, a younger brother or sister for their four-year-old daughter Aurelia.
Taking to his Instagram page, Brendan posted a video of his wife holding her burgeoning baby bump and captioned it: "Hey all…@thezoecole and I have news…"
Zoe shared a snap from their holiday on her own social media accounts and wrote: "Yes it’s true! Came back from Mallorca recently with a little excess baggage! @brendancoleinsta #whathavewedone #babyonboard #excitedandscared #parents #ourfamily #morejunkinthetrunk (sic)"
Since the news broke, Twitter has been flooded with messages of support for the happy couple.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who appeared on the BBC One latin and ballroom show and was partnered with Brendan, wrote: "Woo! Congratulations guys! Happy happy news."
Whilst Judy Murray – who also appeared on the show – added: "Ah Zoe. What gorgeous news. Lots of love to the 3+1 of you. Xxx (sic)"
Fellow ‘Strictly’ professional Oti Mabuse shared: "Congratulations to my big brother @BrendanCole couldn’t be more happier for you #baby news (sic)"
And in a later message, Brendan thanked all his friends and fans for their kind words.
He wrote: "Thank you everyone! We are a very happy and fortunate family! Aurélia will finally be a big sister! …
"So many tweets… Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
