Jordan Banjo and Naomi Courts baby announcement
The couple revealed exclusively to OK! magazine the pregnancy news, after revealing they hadn't been trying for a baby.
Naomi said: "I wanted to be sure so I went out and bought eight more tests. I sat with them all laid out in front of me on the bathroom floor, staring at them in disbelief.
"We always said we wanted kids together, we just didn’t think it would happen this soon. We’re over the moon, though!"

Revealing the sex of the baby, Naomi admitted she was expecting it to be a girl.
She told OK! magazine: "I started crying when they said it was a boy because I was completely convinced we were having a girl.
"I was delighted it was a boy but I felt very overwhelmed, as I'd mentally prepared myself for it to be a daughter."

The couple have already found out the sex of their baby, meaning it's likely they've passed the 20 weeks mark.
If this is the case, Jordan could become a dad in the spring of 2018.
Naomi Courts pregnancy symptoms
Unfortunately, Naomi has suffered with severe morning sickness, just like the Duchess of Cambridge.
She explained: "I was signed off work for ten weeks with hyperemesis gravidarum. It felt like I was spending every minute of the day throwing up – I couldn’t even keep a glass of water down.
"The doctor gave me loads of different anti-sickness tablets but they didn’t make a difference. It’s only in the past few weeks that I’ve started to feel more normal."
