ATOMIC Kitten star Liz McClarnon has revealed she is pregnant with her first child after a two-decade-long struggle trying to conceive.
Liz, 44, is getting ready to welcome a new kitten into the world, and she couldn't be happier.
The singer, took to Instagram to share a sweet video, where she revealed she is pregnant.
In the short clip she can be seen sitting on a bench before getting up to reveal her huge baby bump
The mum-to-be – who welcomed her baby with her husband Peter Cho – looked glowing as she revealed the news she had wanted to say for a very long time.
She announced the news with captions over the video, which read: "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."
Liz also wrote a heartwarming message next to the video, which read: "I started to record a video of me just telling you but I got too emotional so I thought I'd just hide behind this little announcement instead.
"I just can't believe we're here.
"So many have been through exactly what I went through and worse.
"I want to share what I can and add my voice and ears to those who already help others understand or deal with all that comes with ivf and loss after so much hope.
"I've been a part of some beautifully supportive communities. I'm so grateful. I am so grateful!"

Liz's happy news was met by a flood of support from her celebrity pals.
This included her fellow Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton, who wrote: "Literally couldn't be any happier for you both!
"After all you've been through, this little miracle is everything."
Liberty X star Michelle Heaton was thrilled, and said: "So unbelievably happy for you both .
"I know how the road has been unkind to get here .. but look at u now .. so so happy xx love to all three of u xx."
While Hear'Say star Suzanne Shaw posted: "Love you lots," while one fan commented: "Sending you all the love in the world.
"You are going to be an amazing 'fun in a bun' mum! This has made my day!!! Couldn't be happier."
WEDDED BLISS
Liz and her husband Peter got married two years ago, after tying the knot in the Lake District.
Sharing the news at the time, the singer – who has since changed her surname to McClarnon-Cho, wrote: "A few days ago Peter & I tied the knot surrounded by some of the people we love and care for (and little Bean – our dog) and I wanted to share this lovely picture with you from our day.
"We are so grateful to everyone that was there, especially some that travelled from all across the world to be there with us (Australia, LA, Hong Kong, Ibiza…)
"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
"A dear friend said 'You could see the love from the moon that day' and that's exactly how it felt."
Liz shot to fame in 1998 when she joined the girlband Atomic Kitten alongside Natasha and Kerry katona.
The group had instant success thanks to their No. 1 single, Whole Again.
