A beloved Gogglebox star has revealed she is pregnant as she issued an update ahead of giving birth.
Helena Worthington joined the Channel 4 show back in 2017 for series 10 with the rest of the Worthington family: her mum Alison and Alison’s partner George. And it didn’t take them long to become firm favourites with fans.
Over the years, the family – who live in Manchester – have had fans in stitches thanks to their hilarious one-liners and comical takes on the telly highlights.
Away from the programme, accomplished artist Helena is in a relationship with partner Dan. She is also a proud mum to six-year-old Irwin. She is also no stranger to keeping fans updated on her day-to-day life.

And recently, Helena confirmed she was pregnant as she reflected on welcoming another child into the family. Taking to her Instagram, Helena shared several snaps from a recent day out.
In the caption she penned: “Pregnant. Tired. Raging indigestion. Still crouching down to explain why we don’t dig up all the bullbs. 33 weeks pregnant at RHS Bridgwater with my first baby, while waiting for my next one.

“We took Erwin here often when he was a new bean. These in-between moments feel really precious lately — messy, slow, and very real. I’m excited but I feel weird that Erwin will seem so big all of a sudden.”
Helena’s post went down a treat with fans, as some were unaware she was pregnant. Rushing to the comments section one person said: “Omgosh many congratulations!! How precious.”
Another follower chimed in: “Ahhhh huge congratulations!”Gogglebox co-star Ellie Warner also commented three love heart emojis.

When she’s not on Gogglebox, Helena herself is an accomplished artist based at Islington Mill, where she focuses on sculpting and painting.
Her artwork has been displayed in prestigious venues such as The Whitworth Art Gallery and The Manchester Open at Home, and her paintings have found homes in various private collections.
In a candid chat with ilovemanchester.com, Helena opened up about her personal life. Reflecting on what sparked her artistic journey, she shared: “When I was very little I used to draw on the walls and in my mum’s cook books and then blame it on my brother… so I guess that was the start of things.”
Gogglebox airs every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
