She wrote: “Mummy & Daddy! Wow. Still doesn’t feel like there will be a baby here soon! Look at my belly and I know there is a baby in there, but I can’t seem to imagine a real life mini us?! When does the feeling sink in?
“Anyway I just have to give this man @rossco188 some credit. He has been amazing, completely there for me the whole time, even if it’s to tell me to stop being such a worrier or to tell me off for doing too much cleaning.”
She continued: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to see him be a father. We both came from broken families and it makes us so much more determined to try and give our baby the best possible start in life.

“We already love this baby so much and can’t wait to meet s/he.”
Tyla, who found fame on the third series of Love Island, previously revealed that she found out she was pregnant after taking a pregnancy test in the toilets at a branch of Nandos because she couldn’t wait until she got home.
However, her pregnancy hasn’t been smooth sailing.
Opening up about how tough her high-risk pregnancy has been she revealed on Instagram: “Normally baby’s head would be engaging or have already engaged, but because mine is still breech and it’s growing, it’s leaving me no room left to breathe.
“I’m even more uncomfortable than I’ve ever been and all I’ve done the last few days is cry about it and moan. My poor boyfriend.”
