The couple have been engaged since January, when Daniel unexpectedly proposed to Shelley live on television during his CBB eviction interview with host Emma Willis.

During the heart-warming moment, which left Shelley (and viewers) in tears, he told her: 'Do you know what, when I was in the house, every day I regretted I didn't ask you... so will you marry me?'

The pair are also parents to another daughter, Neve, who is two years old – but had previously been told that Shelley would be unable to conceive.

Talking to The Sun newspaper about his fiancée in July, Daniel revealed: ‘She’s pregnant again.

‘She was told she couldn’t have babies the first time around. The second time, this time, she was just about to go in a do tests and we were just trying.’

At the time, Daniel also revealed the couple would be putting their wedding plans on hold until Shelley had given birth and the couple had finished renovating their new home.

‘We’ve got a new house so we’re finishing that off and we’ve going to wait until this baby comes and then we’re going to plan the wedding,’ he explained.

It sounds like they have a very busy and happy 2019 to look forward to!
