Danniella Westbrook is pregnant with her third child at the age of 44 - just a few weeks after meeting and getting engaged to her new lover Alan Thomason.
The former EastEnders star is said to be expecting again with Alan, 34 - their first child together and a baby sibling to Danniella's children from previous relationships, Kai, 21, and 15-year-old Jody.
While she is yet to publicly confirm the news on her social media, The Sun reports that Danniella is pregnant and photos have emerged of the lovebirds holding her stomach while they relax on holiday in Benidorm.

It comes after the two confirmed they were engaged when Danniella flashed her diamond ring during their sun-soaked vacation last week.
Danniella then took to Twitter to blast Alan's ex, Charlene Whyment, who claimed that she was still engaged to Alan at the time - and had no idea he was pursuing Danniella until she saw pictures of them together in a newspaper.
Less than 24 hours after the former soap star actress revealed she's set to wed her toy boy lover, the pair found themselves caught up in the major drama.

Charlene claimed Alan proposed to her just four weeks ago, and said they had lived together for three years.
She told how she had been left heartbroken after being dumped out of the blue.
She told the Sun Online : “I’m sickened to my stomach – one minute I think I’m getting married to the love of my life and the next I find out he’s proposed to a woman with half a nose.”
She added: “I lived with Alan for three years in the UK before he moved to Spain. I split my time between there and the UK.
“I left to visit my family four weeks ago and he proposed to me at Alicante airport.

“I said yes, of course, I thought we were madly in love and I thought it was forever. I’m in complete shock at what I’ve seen.”
Charlene said she's desperately been trying to get hold of Alan, 34, but he hasn't been answering her calls.
However, Danniella - who shot to fame playing Samantha Mitchell in the BBC One soap - laughed off Charlene's claims and even mocked her by saying 'her invite is in the post'.
She tweeted: "So heart broken she sold a story enjoy your ££ cos I'm enjoying ur ex Oh & ur invites in the post (sic)."

On Friday, 43-year-old Danniella proudly flashed a glittering rock on her ring finger in a Twitter snap.
"Feeling super special 2 proposals and two rings," she wrote.
Danniella first let the cat out of the bag when she and Alan went for a PDA-heavy frolic in the sea in Spain, where he lives.
Wearing a halterneck bikini, the former soap star flaunted her slender figure, while her new tattooed beau showcased his muscular physique by wearing board shorts.
Of course, the ring was also on clear view.

If the pair do manage to make it down the aisle, it will be Danniella's third marriage. The actress was first married to van driver Ben Morgan in 1998.
Her first marriage, which followed the split from long-term partner Robert Fernandez, came about after a matter of weeks - the couple split after less than a year.

In 2001 it looked as though she'd finally found love when she wed millionaire businessman Kevin Jenkins in December of that year - four months after the birth of their daughter Jody.
However, the couple split in 2014. Daniella also has a son, Kai (who took Kevin's surname), from her romance with Robert Fernandez.
The actress famously had a pro-longed battle with cocaine addiction, which she has struggled to control over the year - having endured multiple stints in rehab.
