The delighted mum-to-be shared her happy news on Instagram today, weeks after The Celeb Report exclusively revealed she and fiancé Lorri Haines were expecting.

She wrote: “We are having a baby @lozzahaines.
We have been bursting at the seams with happiness & so excited to officially share our lovely news with you.”
Ferne is already mum to daughter Sunday, five, from her relationship with jailed Arthur Collins, while Lorri also has a five-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Their friends and fans showered them with congratulations upon seeing the announcement.
Danielle Armstrong wrote: “YASSS FINALLY ITS OUT!!! So happy for you guys. beaut pic.”
Jess Wright left love heart emojis.
While James Argent commented: “You both needed this, So happy for you! Wonderful news.”
Recalling the moment she realised she was pregnant, Ferne told OK!: “I knew I was pregnant – I just knew. All the tell-tale signs were there. I missed a period and I couldn’t even touch my boobs because they were so painful.
“I just sat on the toilet with the door open and was like, ‘I knew it! It’s positive!’ It wasn’t this romantic, tears streaming-down-my-face thing. We were so happy. It wasn’t planned, but it wasn’t not planned. For us both being parents, they’re little miracles and it was such a positive moment and something to look forward to for us.”
Ferne, 32, met her businessman boyfriend two years ago and he popped the question on a romantic holiday to France in July.
Fans started speculating that Ferne was expecting after she posted a loved up tribute to Lorri – with one saying “100% a baby on the way”.
A pal confirmed to The Celeb Report: “Ferne is over the moon. From the moment she met Lorri she knew she wanted to marry him and have his kids.
“They’re both ready to commit and are looking forward to their future together.”
A spokesperson for Ferne is yet to respond to our request for comment.
Essex star Ferne, who is already mum to daughter Sunday, five, revealed to The Celeb Report last year that she knew she had finally met “The One” weeks into her romance with Lorri.
A besotted Ferne said: “I would love to get married and I think about it all the time.
“I have never thought about it until now because I have met someone now that I would genuinely marry.”
The loved-up couple last month jetted off on a “life changing” getaway to India, where Ferne was spotted meditating.
The star first turned to spiritual healing practices to reduce stress in her life in 2018.
Ferne told The Celeb Report back then: “I’m into crystal healing, meditation and mindfulness. I recently had a ‘closing of the bones’ ceremony.
“It’s a treatment you have after having a baby. It brings all your bones and your hips back into alignment and celebrates that you gave birth.
“You go through so much when you’re pregnant and when you give birth, and this is a very holistic, meditational, spiritual treatment.”
Prior to getting her spot on Towie, Ferne was a hair stylist and colourist for six years.
She became a household name after her debut on the ninth series, but left the show in 2016, shortly after reaching the final on I’m A Celebrity.
Ferne went on to star in her own show First Time Mum.
Meanwhile, former Dubai-based jeweller Lorri recently embarked on a new career as a life coach and has launched ‘well-being tech start-up’ Shoorah.
According to pals, the couple are hoping for a “low-key” wedding in the French Riviera.
“She may go abroad but she is wanting to keep it a bit more low-key and much more intimate and focus on the friends and family that she’ll have there,” an insider told OK! Magazine.
Ferne’s daughter Sunday is already very close to Lorri
