Fleur East, who has announced she is pregnant, has shared that the sad loss of her dad inspired her decision to start a family.
The soon-to-be mum lost her father Malcolm in 2020 due to a heart attack. In October 2022, Fleur confessed that her dad's passing made her more keen to have children with her husband Marcel Badiane-Robin.
The 36 year old said: "I appreciate things more.
It's interesting because before I was like, 'I'll take it as it comes, I'm not in a rush, we've got time'. But as soon as you lose someone, you're like 'Wow! Okay'.
You can't really plan for anything, nothing's promised." The star, who got married in Morocco in 2019, told the Daily Mail: "So it's changed my views on that definitely. I'm a bit more open to the idea of starting a family now.
I'm still not planning it, but I'm not waiting and saying, 'I'll start in a year' or anything like that. We are just letting things happen naturally now!" Now, over a year after sharing her dream of having a family, Fleur and Marcel are getting ready to become parents.
On New Year's Day, the Strictly: It Takes Two host showed off her growing bump on Instagram and told her followers: "2024 is gonna be different..." Fans were quick to congratulate the pregnant star underneath the post, with many claiming to have suspected Fleur was with child due to her wardrobe choices over recent weeks. "I knew it!! Baggy blazers on it takes two covered it well! Congratulations," one fan commented underneath Fleur's announcement on Monday, with another adding: "Huge congratulations..I did wonder when some of your outfits on it takes two were baggy xx." Fleur and her husband Marcel tied the knot in 2019, just months before the former X Factor star's dad passed away in 2020.
