The model and presenter opened up on realising she was pregnant after noticing some telltale signs during a trip to India with Haines. Once back in the UK, she took a test and the result confirmed her suspicions.

"I just sat on the toilet with the door open and was like, 'I knew it! It's positive!'. It wasn't this romantic, tears streaming-down-my-face thing," she told OK! magazine.

"We were so happy. It wasn't planned, but it wasn't not planned," she continued. "For us both being parents, they're little miracles and it was such a positive moment and something to look forward to for us."

For his part, Haines said he was "over the moon", sharing: "I couldn't believe it!"

While the pair wanted to keep the happy news under wraps until they were ready, it was leaked to the press. McCann, however, decided not to let this ruin her moment.

"It's always super annoying when something gets out there, but I experienced that with [her first daughter] Sunday and I just didn't want to have the same reaction," she explained.

"It's still speculation until you've heard it from the horse's mouth."

The Only Way Is Essex airs on ITVBe.
