It comes after Danielle revealed last year that she was devastated when she was told she might struggle to conceive after being diagnosed with endometriosis.

The reality star favorite was diagnosed with the disease in December 2018 and recalled its devastation when she learned it could make having children difficult.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Danielle said, “I remember walking out of that appointment and sitting in the parking lot crying alone.”

Congratulations: Fans and famous friends rushed to the comments section to congratulate Danielle on the news, while Kate Ferdinand wrote: “Fabulous news, congratulations my darling.”

Danielle said she didn’t want to tell anyone about her endometriosis, especially since one of her close friends had breast cancer at the time.

She was in a relationship with footballer Daniel Spiller at the time but knew the romance was ending.

She said: “It wasn’t like I was trying to have a baby anytime soon, but it was in the back of my mind – what if I meet the person I want to have kids with and it’s not possible?

“I’ve always wanted to be a mother and if that had been taken away from me because of this condition, it would have been horrible.”

Endometriosis, which affects one in ten women, causes tissue similar to the lining of the womb to grow in various organs in the body.

The accumulation of tissue can be minimal, but in the most painful severe cases there can be scarring fusing organs together as the cells take time to exit the body after their thickening during the menstrual cycle.

Danielle went to see her doctor at the age of 30 after years of suffering from severe period pains which she described as “excruciating”.

While there is no cure for endometriosis, medication can be used to reduce pain and birth control pills can be used to make periods lighter.

However, Danielle said she found that going off the pill helped her and recounted how she met Tommy six months after her diagnosis.

The couple moved in together after just two weeks and six weeks later Danielle found out she was pregnant with their daughter Orla, who was born in May 2020.

Danielle said when it comes time for the couple to have another child, she will “see what happens” but will see her GP if they run into any problems.

The star said her pregnancy with Orla has been difficult but she and Tom are hoping for more children, with Danielle believing they will likely have three.
