Charlotte’s baby news won’t come as a complete surprise as she told fans that she was “trying” for baby number two earlier this year.
In April, Charlotte and Jake enjoyed some alone time after they left their daughter with family and jetted out to Spain to see how their new Spanish home is coming along.

As Charlotte and Jake enjoyed a glass of wine together she wrote over the snap: “Special time just us two. Trying to make baby number 2.”
The couple got engaged last November, a year after welcoming their daughter.
Jake got down on one knee during a lavish trip to Dubai.
Sharing the news, Charlotte said: “Happiest woman in the world.”
The baby news is another huge moment in Charlotte’s life and comes just days after she landed another TV show appearance.
CAREER GOALS
Charlotte is set to star on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip after bosses were left desperate to land the reality icon.
A source told The Sun: “BBC bosses were over the moon to get Charlotte on the show.
“She has become a real breakout star of the BBC in recent years which is testament to her popularity with viewers.
“Not many reality stars can find themselves bagging such popular shows 13 years into their career and so it was a no brainer to get her signed up.
“There is no stopping her and her recent slate of TV roles demonstrates this.
“Charlotte will be a real hoot on the show and is sure to be the stand-out star of this upcoming run.”
