Amanda Holden, 53, has announced she is expecting an exciting arrival to join her family!
The Heart Breakfast presenter opened up about welcoming a new addition to her home and revealed the hilarious way she told her unsuspecting husband.
Speaking this morning, Amanda told co-host JK: "I sat at the table and I said, ‘whilst we’re all feeling stressed and emotional, there’s something Chris I need to tell you.’
She continued: "The children already knew. They put their hands to their mouths and they said, ‘Mummy don’t do it now!'"
The mother-of-two continued: "'There’s going to be a new addition to the family.’ Chris looked utterly shocked.
"Obviously, you know, I’m 53. Honestly my eggs are like raisins at this point. I’m thrilled because as an ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home… got ya!
"Three little puppies were dumped at the doors of Battersea. I got the call, ‘we are desperate for someone. Would you consider fostering a dog?’"
