Shelby Tribble has announced she’s expecting her first child with boyfriend Sam Mucklow.
In a sweet post shared to Instagram on Monday, the TOWIE personality, 27, cradled her baby bump as she and her co-star beau, 28, held up an ultrasound snap.
The happy news comes just a month after fitness enthusiast Sam’s older sister Billi revealed she’s set to become a mother for the third time with her footballer fiancé Andy Carroll.

Sharing identical posts, the TV stars captioned the images: ‘Something fantastic is making us glad, we’re changing our names to Mum and Dad.’
The couple appeared in great spirits as they hugged outside their doorstep, with the former Miss Great Britain winner highlighting her growing baby bump in a clingy black dress.
Shelby and Sam were flooded with love from their pals, with heavily-pregnant Danielle Armstrong, mother-of-one Ferne McCann and pal Demi Sims leading the well-wishers.
The parents-to-be, who recently celebrated Sam’s birthday in lockdown, have been friends for a couple of years, but took their relationship to the next level just last year.

They reignited their turbulent romance in May 2019, just weeks after calling it quits during an explosive row, which saw him call her a ‘s**g’.
Their brief split saw Shelby date Tom McDonnell, while Sam attempted to pursue Demi Sims.
The beauty pageant queen’s most high-profile relationship to date was with Celebs Go Dating star Pete Wicks, and Sam was previously in a romance with Ex on the Beach’s Nicole Bass.
The pair recently shared their plans to leave ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex, where they first found love.

In October, Sam made the announcement in a lengthy Instagram post as he explained he was planning to focus on his ‘fairytale’ relationship with Shelby and move on from the ‘pressure and anxiety’ on the show.
He revealed: ‘Me and @shelbytribble have never been happier and we are continuing our little fairytale away from the pressure and anxiety from the show…
‘I really feel I have made the right decision to focus on the things that are truly important to me!
‘…I’m walking away with a smile on my face and a beautiful girl on my arm Thank you everyone at @towie @limepicturestv & @itvbe’.
Prior to his post, it was revealed by MailOnline that Sam had quit the reality show midway through the series and stopped filming after returning home from Marbella.
Shelby also left TOWIE – with mutual pals of the pair saying Sam ‘put pressure on her to leave with him.’
