First Dates star Laura Tott has announced she is expecting her first child.
The reality star took to Instagram to reveal that she is expecting her first child with her husband, who she prefers to keep anonymous, posting a sweet clip on her story in the process.
The first clip showed a Polaroid camera printing out an image of Laura with her baby bump, before being accompanied by photos of the ultrasound.

She subsequently received plenty of congratulatory messages from friends and fans alike, before thanking them in a subsequent clip.
“Thank you so much for every single message,” she began. “Still doesn’t feel real sometimes - can’t believe there’s a little baby in there.
A few of you had said you’d guessed, mainly because of the missing drunken stories on here recently. Thank you again, [it] means so so much,” she added.
Laura tied the knot with her partner in August last year, with the ceremony taking place in Devon: “There is so much I want to write, and so many people I want to thank for the best day of our life,” she wrote on a post that covered the special day.

Laura shot to fame as a waitress on First Dates, but hasn’t appeared on the series since filming was relocated to Manchester from London, with her occupation as a paramedic keeping her schedule full.
“As you can see, I do not appear in this new series of First Dates,” she began as she explained her absence in 2021. “They have moved up north to a new restaurant and wanted to freshen up the team for this series with some new local faces among the old faces, so I will not be featuring in this new series of First Dates unfortunately.
I don't actually know how I would have fit filming in this year with working during the pandemic,” she added. “This doesn't mean it's over and I'm still very much part of the First Dates family and hopefully I'll be back again real soon.”
First Dates airs on Channel 4.
