The Sun recently revealed how the TV favourite is “weeks” from giving birth.

As they get ready to become parents for the first time, the couple have been busy showing off the renovations on their stunning £3.5million Essex home.

This week, the showbiz pair posted a picture of the “mind blowing” spiral staircase, which now sits pride of place in the middle of their home.

They posted a slew of snaps which show the spiralling white marble steps adorned with elegant black railings leading to the upstairs floors.

However, some fans slammed the staircase for being “unsafe” with a new baby on the way.

Parent-shaming the couple, one wrote: “Lovely, but please make sure your baby will be safe when they start walking.”

While another added: “You will need lots of baby gates for those stairs.”

This one said: “You’re going to need lots of stair gates!”

BABY ON THE WAY
