Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson is expecting her second child.

The TV presenter, who is married to personal trainer Alex Di Pasquale, said that she was “so pleased” to discover the news.

“I’m not getting any younger, so when we discovered I was pregnant, we were so pleased,” she told OK!

The 37-year-old admitted that she had “a bit of a freak out” after learning she was expecting a baby as she previously experienced “bad pre-natal anxiety and post-natal depression” with her son Enzo.

“It was a really hard time for us,” she told the magazine. “Physically I was healing but mentally I was having a pretty rough time. Alex had to bear the brunt of it all.”

The dating guru also confirmed the news in an Instagram post shared earlier today, joking that her “slightly fuller figure” was not the result of “eating all the pies.”

“It’s been an important couple of months making sure this pregnancy is healthy, that baby is well (it is) and that crucially my mental health is in good order,” she wrote, before alluding to her experience with “severe peri and post natal anxiety when [she] had Enzo.”

She described the “first class support” from the NHS Community Perinatal MH Team as “an absolute game changer” and thanked her “wonderful bosses and colleagues” on Celebs Go Dating for being “BRILLIANT and so supportive welcoming the 1st agency baby into the fold.”

She suggested that Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson should “get the nursery ready as it’s business as usual.”

Williamson’s celebrity friends and past Celebs Go Dating contestants shared messages of congratulations.

Actress Chelsee Healey wrote “congratulations beautiful so so happy for you” while Blue singer Lee Ryan wrote: “Ahhh amazing!!!”

The presenter will appear in the forthcoming series of the E4 dating show, which is set to air later this year and will see single celebrities including Ryan, Love Island’s Jack Fincham and Megan Barton Hanson and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here contestant Lady Colin Campbell attempt to find love.
