In her candid Instagram caption, Ms Worthington wrote: “Pregnant. Tired. Raging indigestion. Still crouching down to explain why we don’t dig up all the bulbs.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “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.”<\/p>\n

The news of her pregnancy comes amid a sad time for the Worthington family. The Gogglebox star followed up her pregnancy news with a heartbreaking post dedicated to her late grandma.<\/p>\n

Ms Worthington revealed: “I\u2019m not quite sure how to write this post. This week I reached 20k on here, which feels huge and something I\u2019m incredibly grateful for.<\/p>\n

“But it\u2019s also been a really rough week. I lost my legendary nana, and because of that I won\u2019t be filming the last episode of Gogglebox this series.”<\/p>\n

She went on: “My nana played such a huge part in my life and loved me fiercely. She was the perfect mix of Dame Judi Dench and the Catherine Tate nana \u2014 sharp, hilarious, and she somehow knew the answers to every quiz show question. <\/p>\n

“She once flashed a vicar and stole the neighbour\u2019s dog when they wouldn\u2019t give my mum\u2019s football back \u2014 which honestly tells you everything you need to know about her. She was a true Queen.<\/p>\n

“Every time we met, we talked about Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie To You?, and she never missed an opportunity to tell absolutely anyone she met that her daughter and granddaughter were on Gogglebox.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m expecting a baby girl in the next month, and my heart aches knowing my nana won\u2019t get to meet her.”<\/p>\n

However, she signed off on an upbeat note: “But I know she\u2019ll be part of her in so many ways \u2014 in stories, in humour, and in that same strength and warmth. Thank you for being here, for the lovely messages, and for letting me share both gratitude and grief at the same time.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Helena Worthington, star of Channel 4’s Gogglebox, has revealed she is expecting her second child, announcing on Instagram…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,830,1633,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-319038","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-celebrity","10":"tag-channel-4","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
