First Dates star Laura Tott expecting second child as she teases over son's reaction

Former First Dates star Laura Tott has announced that she's expecting another baby with her husband. She shared the news with fans this week and teased over her eldest child's reaction ahead of becoming a "big brother".

Laura, 30 - who was once among the restaurant staff on the Channel 4 show - announced the pregnancy in a post on Instagram yesterday. She is already a parent to son Leo, who turns two in August, with her husband Sean Clarke.

Sharing the news with her followers, paramedic Laura posted a photo of Leo holding a baby scan whilst stood in a garden. She then further showcased the scan in another photo that was included in her post on the platform.

Alongside the photos, Laura told fans that Leo's sibling is due later this year. The former reality TV star wrote in the caption: "Life is about to get a little crazier - Baby Clarke Number 2 is due December 2025, and we can't wait!"

Laura later followed up by sharing another photo of her son on her Instagram Story. Seemingly teasing that he didn't look impressed, she wrote: "BTS. Leo's reaction to finding out he is going to be a big brother soon. The face says it all."

She went on to express gratitude for the reaction to her news. Laura told fans: "Thank you so so much for every comment and message, you lovely lot. Going to be just over a two year age gap, whish me luck, all the luck please."

Her initial post has amassed more than 10,000 likes since it was first uploaded and fans took to the comments section to share well wishes to Laura. Former Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson wrote: "Huge congrats."

Laura's former colleague Fred Sirieix - who is best known as the maître d'hôtel on First Dates - also reacted to her announcement earlier this week. The presenter shared a heart-eyed emoji as his response to the pregnancy news.

Another follower wrote: "The biggest congratulations to you all my darling! So much love." Someone else commented on the post recently: "Best big brother in the world pending." One fan said: "Aww huge congratulations."

Someone wrote: "So exciting. Congratulations guys." Another person responded to Laura's post: "Many congratulations to you all. Lovely news." Whilst one fan wrote: "Congratulations to all of you Leo will be the best big brother."

The news comes just over two years on from Laura announcing that she was expecting Leo in April 2023. At the time, she teased to her followers: "Our best adventure yet." She announced his birth four months later in August that year.

Marking his first birthday last year, she wrote: "Celebrating one year since this little ray of sunshine graced this earth with his presence; happy first birthday little Leo." Laura added: "Watching you grow is my favourite thing in the world."
