Former Strictly Come Dancing star Joanne Clifton has announced she is expecting a child in a pregnancy reveal featuring a London Underground Baby On Board badge.
The 42-year-old dancer and actress shared the news on social media with a photo of a London Underground Baby On Board badge, which is usually worn to alert other passengers that the wearer needs a seat as they are pregnant.
Messages of congratulations included many from the BBC dance show.
Oti Mabuse, a fellow former Strictly dancer, said: "Incredible news."
Janette Manrara, presenter of Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, said: "Amazing news."
Fleur East, a fellow It Takes Two star, added: "Wooo, congratulations."
Her brother Kevin Clifton, also a former Strictly professional, posted three hearts in support.
Clifton partnered Ore Oduba to victory in the show’s 14th series in 2016 and also appeared as an expert presenter on It Takes Two in 2015 and 2019.
She appeared on the programme between 2014 and 2016.
