Amy Hart delighted her followers earlier this week with the news that she is expecting her first child.
After confirming that she and her boyfriend Sam Rason would soon become parents after conceiving naturally following fertility struggles, the former Love Island contestant will donate her frozen eggs to help others become parents. Watch Amy's video below:
The 30-year-old has previously spoken openly about the three rounds of egg freezing procedures she has undergone, with two of the rounds being successful and resulting in 12 eggs being frozen.

During a Q&A session on TikTok, one follower asked if she would ‘really donate them’ before adding that the gesture is ‘lovely’.
Amy replied: “Yes because I've had lots of friends who have had to use donor eggs and luckily there's been lots of eggs donated.
"So I would hope that one day if I needed donor eggs there'd be lots in the bank. So obviously then I have to pay it forward and give mine for all the lovely ladies that need donor eggs."
Amy has previously discussed potentially donating her eggs in April during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

She told hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls that early menopause runs in her family and after discovering she had a low ovarian reserve, she decided to get her eggs frozen at the age of 27.
When asked about the reality of egg freezing not guaranteeing a successful pregnancy later, Amy responded: “With the chance thing - everything in life is chance - what certainties are there in life? I take chances every day, and they might work out and they might not.
“I've known I've wanted to be a mum since I was a child. And I was in a position to do it [egg freezing], so I was like: 'If it's gonna help me... And if I can't use them, then I'll donate them!”

On Monday (29 August) Amy and Sam – who became Instagram official in August last year – shared the wonderful news that they have a baby on the way, due in March next year.
“Interestingly enough, we got pregnant unexpectedly because the app that was telling us the fertile window was so out,” Amy mused in an Instagram post.
"So much so that if we'd started trying in January as planned we probably wouldn't have fallen pregnant as we would have been nowhere near the ovulation days."
