Cher announced her pregnancy in January, dropping a double whammy on fans: a baby was on the way and a new album!

She made a rare TV appearance on Lorraine in February, where she said: “[The baby] is due in May, it’s just around the corner! I’m starting to think now, ‘Oh, this is coming up. It’s soon!’ I’m so happy.”

As well as starting a family, she’ll celebrate her fifth wedding anniversary with hairdresser husband Craig Monk this year.

“We come from such different backgrounds,” she said.

“He’s so lovely. I’m so lucky. We definitely are a solid team and I think we just deal with anything that’s thrown at us.

“We’re so excited to be starting the most incredible – I hate to say journey, as I hate that word – but we are. It’s like a new start.

“This year will be five years married and I don’t know where the time is going!

“Straight away I knew he was definitely the one.”
