OLIVIA Bowen bursts into tears as she reveals her pregnancy news to her family and friends in a sweet video.
The Love Island star – who turned 28 years old today – shared the heartwarming clip with husband Alex on Instagram last night.
Paying tribute to their nearest and dearest, she wrote in a gushing post: “We are so unbelievably over flowing with love.
“It’s so hard to find the words to describe anything right now! We could not be more thankful, grateful & appreciative of every single one of your messages. I am reading through them all again & again wondering how we got so lucky to be so loved & cared for by so many people. It’s just so much more than we could ever of expected.
“We managed to film so many of our friends & families reactions over time & every time I cried & felt so bloody happy to be able to share this news with our favourite people in the world. We love them so much for keeping our secret for so long, I know it was difficult haha!
“I cannot watch this without crying! My most emotional video ever, I had to share with you all tonight this part of the journey, it helps me show you how much this means to us & our loved ones. When I thought of telling our closest, it always made me well up, it was something I couldn’t wait to do, so having it all caught on camera for us to relive again & again is like an instant serotonin boost 
”
Olivia described seeing her family’s faces lighting up as “magical” and said the couple were “buzzing” but “nervous” to become parents.
She concluded: “Again, I don’t think I will ever be able to express my gratitude & gratefulness to how kind you have been & how excited you all are.
“I am so overwhelmed & we are so full of love, Thank you THANK YOU 
”
The couple took to social media on New Year’s Day to first share the happy news with fans, with Alex, 30, posting a picture featuring baby-related Polaroids.
Alex and Olivia met on the 2016 series of Love Island, and finished in second place behind Cara and her now-husband Nathan Massey.
The couple married in September 2018 and have gone on to become one of the richest pairings from the show.
In June 2020 they exclusively told The Celeb Report they had earned £4.5 million
since leaving the ITV2 reality show.
Following their baby news, the pair were immediately congratulated by their fellow Love Islanders, with Olivia’s ex BFF Cara De La Hoyde being one of the first to write: “Congratulations.”
Jessica Rose added: “Omg congrats guys. So excited for you. You’re gunna love being mum and dad.”
