Casey Batchelor is pregnant with her first child after fearing she would have to FREEZE her eggs because she couldn't find love

Casey Batchelor is pregnant with her first child after finding love with her secret boyfriend - having feared she would have to turn to science to have children.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star is expecting with lover Dane Goodson, who she's been dating on the down-low for 18 months now.

 The 33-year-old glamour model and reality star thought she'd never find happiness and even considered having her eggs frozen after a string of failed relationships, a pal explained.

"It's been a long time coming for Casey, who's had such bad luck with guys she was considering freezing her eggs because she thought her happy ending would never happen," the friend told the Sun.

"But it really was love at first sit for her and Dane and a year and a half on they are overjoyed about becoming parents.

"She really believes she's finally found her prince and loves he's someone completely separate from the industry."

While Casey herself hasn't announced the news publicly, an insider close to her confirmed the happy news to Mirror Online.

She did hint at a big announcement just three days ago when she posted a video of herself performing some skillful yoga moves on her windowsill.

Wearing a black body suit and with her long brunette wear worn loose, Casey held herself up by her arms and walked her feet around the window frame.

She captioned it: "I haven't posted a yoga video for a while and you will all find out very soon why I haven't so for now I thought I would post a Yoga Video of handstand inversion."

She added: "KARMA- Think good thoughts, say nice things, do good for others. Everything comes back."

It's thought Casey is around the three-month mark of her pregnancy, giving her a due date in spring 2018.
