Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has revealed she is pregnant with her second child as she shared a sweet clip.Â
Shaughna took to Instagram recently to share some exciting news. She posted a video of herself taking a pregnancy test and proudly displayed her growing bump, announcing her pregnancy.
In addition to this, Shaughna shared an adorable video featuring her two-year-old daughter Lucia. The video showed Lucia wearing a t-shirt that read ‘Big Sis’ and ‘In my big sister era,’ adding a cute touch to the announcement.
Shaughna did not reveal who the father of her baby is as she wrote: ‘Adding a little more love to our family…’
After the birth of her daughter Lucia in April 2023, Shaughna faced challenges as her boyfriend of four years, Billy Webb, 29, received a nine-year prison sentence. Webb pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine valued at a minimum of £360,000.
However Shaughna revealed in November that the father of her little girl had been released after serving only 12 months of his sentence and the family reunited to enjoy a Christmas grotto together.Â

Taking to Instagram on Sunday , Shaughna revealed she is expecting as she posted a video of herself taking a pregnancy test and showed off her growing bump
The blonde bombshell has been very open with her fans throughout the ordeal and previously revealed on her podcast Oh, Baby with Shaughna and Holly that she had struggled to come to terms with the situation.Â
She said: ‘It’s the most gut-wrenching position to be in.
‘And, I mean, before I even answer this question, I want to just put it out there that you can judge me all you want, but please don’t let me know, because I feel like unless you’ve been in this position you can’t really have an opinion on it.
‘Because before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy.
‘And then, lo and behold, I’m now in this position. And I think the thing is, we’re always going to be co-parents.
‘And I know that me and my dad had the best relationship ever, and to me, my dad is the best person in the world.
‘And I don’t want Lucia to think differently of her father. I would never, ever stop him from seeing her, ever.’
Sharing an adorable video to her Instagram announcing he had been released, the reality star revealed that she and her partner had taken Lucia to see Santa and added she never thought this day would come.Â
She also shared a sweet video of her daughter Lucia, two, wearing a t-shirt saying ‘Big Sis’ and ‘In my big sister era’ to go with the announcement

Following the birth of her daughter Lucia in April 2023, Shaughna’s boyfriend of four years, Billy Webb, 29, was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000
She captioned the clip: ‘If you had told me this time last year, that me and Billy would be taking Lucia to see Santa next Christmas, I probably wouldn’t have let myself believe you
‘The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special’.
The star also revealed to MailOnline that she had struggled raising her daughter as a single mother.Â
She said: ‘Having a newborn baby, hormones are all over the place and I was just struggling’
‘Anyone who’s had kids they’ll probably say that when they’re a newborn it’s easiest because they just lie there and need to be fed but as they get older and they can talk back and say no… It’s exhausting.’
And the stress of parenthood was one factor that led to Shaughna’s weight gain as she admitted she would just grab a snack on the go despite striving to give her little girl the healthiest meals she could.Â
Shaughna revealed she struggled with comfort eating, using food it to deal with stressful episodes in her life including the birth of her daughter Lucia
‘I wasn’t eating well and I realised if I wouldn’t let Lucia eat that then why am I?’ she confessed.Â
Shaughna revealed earlier this year that she was left ‘shaken to her core’ after visiting her GP for a health check.
The TV star explained that a year after giving birth to her daughter Lucia she had been told she is now obese.
In a candid post shared to Instagram, Shaughna revealed during an entire body MOT check, she was told she had ‘quite a lot of visceral fat around her main organs’.
This can lead to an array of potentially serious health problems in the future, such as heart attacks, diabetes and some cancers, according to Health Direct.Â
