Strictly Come Dancing favourite Louis Smith has announced he is expecting his second child partner Charlie Bruce.
The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Marley Valentina Smith, in February 2021.
Louis, who is a 4x Olympic gymnast won the BBC competition in 2012 with his professional dance partner Flavia Cacace, just after his success at the London Games where he claimed a silver and bronze for Britain.
But now he’s revealed he will become a father again on Instagram.

Sharing the exciting family update with his 120k followers, the 35-year-old posted a picture of a sonogram.
Louis captioned it with: “It’s so nice we had to do it twice,” along with a laughing face emoji, some red hearts and of course a baby emoji.
Charlie also shared her own photo of the baby scan amid a hamper of pink and blue sweets to announce the news.
She also confirmed the baby was due in December as she wrote: “The best birthday present I could ask for. Due 5.12.24”.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
