MARRIED At First Sight UK star Gemma Rose Barnes has revealed she is pregnant.<\/p>\n
The E4 star, who recently opened up about her cocaine and booze battle, shared the happy news and a picture of her scan on instagram.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Gemma announced the news with a picture of a mocked up newspaper front cover with the headline: "Baby on the way."<\/p>\n
Gemma, who is 20 weeks pregnant, then added the caption: "The newest addition coming MARCH 2024."<\/p>\n
She also revealed the gender of the baby in a video montage.<\/p>\n
Gemma announced she was having a boy as she showed a clip of her and partner Jordan Bishop popping a balloon to reveal blue confetti.<\/p>\n
The hairdresser, who earlier this year lost three stone after a gastric sleeve op, then shared a series of snaps showing off her bump as she posed with Jordan touching her belly.<\/p>\n The flame-haired reality star also posted a picture of her scan showing her baby in her tummy.<\/p>\n She wrote: "Absolutely over the moon to share this beautiful adventure with such a supportive and kind partner who makes me cry happy tears daily, talking to baby and being so present. I am so blessed to have you and our family."<\/p>\n This will be Gemma's third child as she is already a mum to sons Ozzy, 11, and Cash, 5.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Gemma's followers were quick to share their well wishes, including some of her MAFS co-stars.<\/p>\n Chanita Stephenson commented: "YAAAAAASSSSS the news its out you already know how happy I am for you both. Wishing you all the best."<\/p>\n Kwame Badu added: "Awww Congratulations."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fan wrote: "After everything you went through on MAFS, to see you come out on the other side and change your life around you should be proud of yourself."<\/p>\n Indeed, the happy news comes after quite the rollercoaster ride for Gemma.<\/p>\n She recently opened up about her cocaine and booze battle while starring on the hit reality show.<\/p>\n Gemma\u00a0claims she suffered a \u201cbreakdown\u201d as she came off the drug during filming.<\/p>\n Gemma, 31, said: \u201cThe first stages where I was falling apart was probably my comedown from my addiction and I should never have been on that show.<\/p>\n \u201cI should never have been cast by them, certainly not. Psychiatrists could obviously tell that I was a bit of a mess."<\/p>\n Hairdresser\u00a0Gemma signed up to Season 7 of MAFS\u00a0while hiding an addiction to booze and cocaine that had spanned a decade.<\/p>\n Gemma, from Exmouth, Devon, told\u00a0The Cabin Recovery podcast: \u201cI thought, \u2018I need to stop at least before I go on the show because it\u2019s not going to be accessible.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBut as you know with addiction you just swap one of the other. Although there wasn\u2019t cocaine around, there certainly was a lot of\u00a0alcohol\u00a0in those big glass decanters."<\/p>\n On the show she was paired with Matt Murray but their relationship went south and he 'cheated' on her with fellow bride Whitney Hughes.<\/p>\n After leaving the show, Gemma was blowing so much\u00a0money\u00a0on cocaine that she lost her home – leaving her and her two sons homeless.<\/p>\n She admitted: \u201cI lost my home in the middle of all of that. I became homeless through my addiction\u2026 12 years we were in that house.<\/p>\n \u201cWe went to a homeless place, luckily I got back on my feet financially and I\u2019m able to afford a beautiful home for us again.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t believe that I put them through that. I\u2019ll never make that mistake. If I spend all my life making it up to them then I\u2019ll be happy to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Gemma calls losing the roof over her head a \u201cturning point\u201d. She got help on the 12 Step Programme and hasn't touched alcohol or drugs for over seven months.<\/p>\n<\/picture>WATCH OUT <\/span><\/p>\n
