Jess however later wrote: "Third trimester is really kicking my a** this time round." With her having also pondering over whether the baby will be the "mini [me]" of his father.

Their second child's birth comes five years after the couple met on Love Island. They appeared in the third series of the rebooted show, which was broadcast back in 2017.

They had been coupled up on the show, though Jess was dumped from the villa almost two weeks before Dom. They reunited after his departure and wed the following year.

The married couple had appeared on the series won by Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay, 25. Other contestants that year included Camilla Thurlow, 32, and Jamie Jewitt, 31.

Jess and Dom are considered one of the ITV show's biggest success stories, with them having been together for around five years - which is longer than most winning couples.

They're one of a just a handful of couples to have walked down the aisle and started a family after meeting on Love Island, with them now parents to two children together.
