Celebrity Big Brother star Rhian Sugden has announced she is pregnant with her first child following eight rounds of gruelling IVF treatment. The model from Bury had been trying to conceive a child with her husband, Coronation Street star Oliver Mellor, for over six years.
The former model has documented her fertility struggles, previously stating she believed the couple wouldn't have children. Rhian, 37, found out in her early 30s that she had a low egg and had perimenopausal hormone levels, making it difficult for her to get pregnant.
Now the star has shared the “amazing news” on Instagram to her 485k followers who have been following her IVF journey since 2017. Sharing the “exciting news” Rhian added “good things come to those who wait,” as she posed with her baby bump.
