In September, Daisy had her final pregnancy scan, confirming everything was OK with the tot.
“Great snap from our final scan yesterday,” she wrote alongside it. “You get the sentiment! Baby is head down, measuring bang on average for everything… the only time I’ll be happy to hear that my child is completely average.
“Feel so so blessed and lucky for this journey so far. How did we get so lucky?”

In 2019, Luke proposed to Daisy while on holiday in Greece.
Sharing a photo of the ring, Daisy shared on Instagram: “On Thursday evening Luke Jerdy asked me to marry him by the beach in front of my family.
“I’ve never felt a happiness like this. It’s so surreal but nothing has ever felt more natural.
“I can’t wait to marry my best friend and celebrate how lucky we are to have found what we have. (sic)”
However, their wedding was postponed due to coronavirus.
In May 2021, the couple announced their pregnancy, with Daisy joking the pandemic ‘wasn’t going to get in the way’ of their future.
“We have been keeping the biggest (smallest) secret of our lives!” she wrote.
“We couldn’t let Covid get in the way of any more of our plans so instead of saying ‘I do’ this year, we’ve been growing and preparing for our precious baby son or daughter (still can’t believe those words are coming out of my mouth!)
“Cannot wait to tell you all more about our journey so far.”
