"My partner and I are delighted to announce that polly will soon be welcoming a little brother or sister Into the world. "We are beyond excited! #babynumbertwo #halfway there."

The pair announced their separation just a few weeks later, with the mum-of-one confessing she felt neglected over the last few months of their relationship. She told OK magazine at the time:

"I wanted Brad to be my best friend and my lover, and in the end we just didn’t have anything in common. I fell out of love with him. "After Polly arrived he was sleeping in a different room. Towards the end I became more like a friend and his mum".

 "I was doing the bottles, cleaning and doing his dinner. I wish he’d helped me. "The hardest thing for me was on my birthday. He didn’t even get me a present. He got me a card, but he didn’t take me out".
