Gogglebox fans are flooding to social media in joy over Ellie Warner's pregnancy news.
On the latest episode of the hit Channel 4 reality television series - which aired on Friday, 9 December - the 32-year-old freelance hairdresser revealed she's expecting her first baby while sat on the sofa next to her younger sister, Izzi.
Fans of the Gogglebox star - who joined the show in 2015 for its sixth season - have since flocked to social media to congratulate the mum-to-be.

Ellie shared a photo from a recent scan with her sister while on camera, joking the baby currently looks like a 'jellied alien'.
She said: "When I showed mum the picture she said 'Oh can I take a picture' and you didn't even look at it for two minutes."
Izzi replied: "I did! I told you where the things were, I'll stare at it a bit longer just to make you happy."
Viewers have since taken to social media over the moon to hear the news Ellie is expecting her first child.
One Twitter user wrote: "Hang on a minute is @ellieandizzi
Ellie pregnant #Gogglebox. Well congrats to you and Nat xx."
"@ellieandizzi #Gogglebox congratulations Ellie on the news of your pregnancy, couldn't believe it when I saw tonight's episode.. Aunty Izzie gonna be amazing just like you xx," another wrote.
A third commented: "Congratulations to Ellie & Nat..what an exciting way to end the year."
Ellie is expecting her baby with partner of three years Nat Eddleston.
The pair have had a difficult year, with Nat having been involved in a serious car accident which left him in a critical condition in intensive care.
A family member told the Sun: "Nat is in intensive care with a broken neck, broken back, two collapsed lungs and possible brain damage. He is on a life support machine and all the family and Ellie are obviously very worried for him."
Ellie took a break from Gogglebox after the incident, however, she returned to screens earlier this year in May, according to OK.
Nat has also appeared on Gogglebox, taking to the Channel 4 programme during the pandemic when Ellie was unable to film with her sister due to social distancing regulations.
As well as recently revealing her pregnancy news, Ellie has also spoken on the show about plans to get married to Nat.
Baby fever is clearly spreading on Gogglebox too, as another star of the Channel 4 series, Pete Sandiford, also revealed on the latest episode he and his partner are expecting.
