Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon has revealed she’s pregnant with her first child, after a two-decade struggle to conceive.

The singer, 44, shared the happy news in an Instagram post on Tuesday, telling her followers she has finally fallen pregnant after years of ‘painful’ IVF.

Liz married her husband Peter Cho in June 2023, but didn’t reveal his idenтιтy to her followers until they celebrated their first wedding anniversary last year.

In the sweet clip, Liz could be seen sitting on a park bench before turning around to reveal her bump for the first time.

In captions over the video, she said: ‘I’ve been keeping a secret from you, and I’ve mostly kept myself off social media because sometimes it was hard to smile.

‘But after years of sometimes quite painful IVF and dark times, I’m pregnant! We feel like we’ve been given the world.’

She continued: ‘And finally… Dearest online friends that worked out what day it was, I just wanted to thank you for your lovely messages, you’ve been so kind. 

Liz’s wedding came a year after she shocked fans with a surprise engagement announcement, as she wished her husband-to-be a happy birthday.

She shared a snap embracing her mysterious fiancé, surprising many of her friends who took to the comments.

Her large diamond engagement ring was visible on her ring finger, while she kept the idenтιтy of the man a secret.

Captioning the black-and-white pH๏τo she wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my husband-to-be. YEP! I’m going to marry the most beautiful human I’ve ever known and it’s his birthday today. Double yay!’ 

Her famous friends rushed to the comments to voice their congratulations to the pop star, but even they seemed surprised at the news. 

While Liz has since revealed her partner is called Peter she has not shared any pictures of his face or divulged more details. 

She revealed in October 2022 that she was full steam ahead with wedding planning, sharing a snap of herself picking out her bridal gown.  

Liz was previously engaged to Blue singer Lee Ryan, after dating for around two years, and he popped the question in 2003.

However they called off their romance shortly after, with Liz sayings she didn’t like dating a fellow celebrity.

‘For me, it leads to paranoia. You read things about each other and wonder who said what.

She offered an explanation as to why her current boyfriend’s idenтιтy is secret, adding: ‘Dating a celebrity makes your relationship too public and I like to keep my private life private.’

After Lee she had a long-term partner Harlequin’s rugby star, Ryan O’Neill. They were together for two years from 2012 to 2014. 

Shortly after the split she said of potential motherhood: ‘I think I’ve been quite strong about not having babies with the wrong people.

‘Some people think I haven’t had the chance but I made a conscious decision not to have children with the people I was with.’

Liz also revealed that she would consider adoption in the future.

‘I’m open to adoption as well as I think it’s amazing. I love the idea that there is a child that needs to be loved and you can give that to them.’
