Actress Rebecca shares wedding woes
Her baby news comes months after Rebecca revealed that she had finally married her partner Dan Acraman earlier this summer.
It was quite the journey to get down the aisle, as the pair were forced to cancel previously due to Covid.
“Second time trying to plan my wedding!” she said on Instagram earlier this year. “The first one was cancelled due to Covid so we are back to square one!”
“No date, no venue and still wanting to get married this year. I wish I was an organised person.”
She said previously during an appearance on Lorraine: “We were supposed to get married two years ago, but Covid hit, so we’re back to square one now really – looking for a venue because we couldn’t change the date.
“I’m hoping – we’re hoping to still get married this year, but we haven’t planned anything so I need to see how it goes and get on it really.”
