BIG Brother couple Mikey Dalton and Grace Adams-Short are expecting their fourth child, 15 years after falling in love on the show.
Scouser Mikey was 23 and Grace just 20 when they entered the Channel 4 series on 18 May 2006.
Soon after entering the compound, the pair struck up a romance as they spent 30 days together.
Now 15 years on, the couple, who tied the knot in 2009, have revealed they are set to welcome a fourth child.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Grace, 36, joked: “People think we’re mad to have a fourth, and maybe we are, but we couldn’t be happier.”
The former reality TV star added she’s been blessed with a good pregnancy.
She continued: “It’s been a pretty good pregnancy, when you spend all day running around after the kids, you don’t have time to think about anything else, they’ve kept me more than occupied.
“We’re all delighted and can’t wait to meet our new little one!”
Grace admitted that they are keeping their baby’s gender a surprise like her previous pregnancies – and is due on January 8.
The couple are already parents to Georgiana, nine, Spencer, five, and three-year-old Allegra.
REALITY CHECK
The pair met on series seven of the hit reality show, which also starred WAG Imogen Thomas, fashion designer Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and model Nikki Grahame.
Grace, from Plymouth, was dubbed the “most hated contestant of all time” when she threw a glass of water in housemate Suzie Verrico’s face after she put her up for eviction.
Despite being trolled by the public for the incident, Grace looks back on her time on the show with warmth.
“I absolutely loved every second of it from the audition rounds to all the amazing opportunities that came after the show,” she told The Celeb Report Online in 2020.
“The highlight really was meeting my husband, the daddy of our three munchkins.
“Mikey has said that there was an immediate attraction and I thought, ‘wow this will be a fantastic summer’.
“It was kind of like a holiday romance. We just enjoyed it really and everything we did since then has felt right for us.”
Grace says she was wise with money after the show and bought bought property in London, including their Victorian home, and Liverpool.
She also set up performing arts schools around the country.
Grace having sold her performing schools for millions, is a full-time mum, while Mikey owns an advertising company.
