Jordon, who is also the host of BBC One's The Greatest Dancer, took to his social media to announce the news – and shared the most adorable picture too.

Posting on his Instagram page, shared a cute picture of his eight-month-old son Cassius inquisitively displaying a scan photo, alongside the words: ‘CASSIUS IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER❤!

‘Genuinely never felt more blessed, last year having Cassius was the best thing that’s ever happened to me and @naomiella21, being a dad is genuinely the best job in the world and now we’re going to be mummy and daddy to another little bubba later this year!

‘@naomiella21 I’m so proud of you and the amazing mum/partner you are❤ Can’t wait for the rest of this year and the crazy adventure of our little family getting that bit bigger!’

Partner Naomi shared a similar post over on her Instagram page, sharing the same photo with the caption: ‘So I’ve been a bit quiet lately because we have some crazy exciting news..... CASS IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER! We are over the moon and cannot wait to watch our little family grow ❤’

Congratulations @jordbanjo and Naomi!’ ‘look how happy cass is!’ and ‘Aw wow, amazing news for you both, you and naomie are amazing parents to Cassius and you will be to your other little boy or girl, congratulations to you both’.

Many even made reference to the 26-year-old’s famous dance troupe Diversity, who won Britain’s Got Talent back in 2009, with one writing: ‘Congratulations to you both. Cassius will be a fab big brother. I think you guys will be needing a diversicreche soon though with all these babies’.

This will be the second baby for the former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here star and his long-term partner, after they welcomed son Cassius back in May.

The pair revealed that they were expecting their first child a year ago, almost to the day, speaking about their shock at the exciting news, with Naomi revealing that she bought multiple pregnancy tests to make sure.

‘I wanted to be sure so I went out and bought eight more tests. I sat with them laid out in front of me on the bathroom floor, staring at them in disbelief,’ she told OK! magazine.

‘We always said we wanted kids together, we just didn’t think it would happen this soon. We’re over the moon, though!’

The mum-of-one also went on to explain how she suffered from the same severe morning sickness condition that famously afflicted Kate Middleton, Amy Schumer and Helen Flanagan.

‘I was signed off of work for 10 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,’ Naomi continued.

‘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.’

Congratulations to the pair on their happy news!
