Matthew Wright and his wife Amelia have some great news to smile about - the couple are expecting a baby girl.
This comes after eight tough years of IVF treatment during which the pair thought they might never become parents.
However, they struck lucky on their last attempt and now they are getting ready to welcome a little girl.
The TV and radio host and his record executive wife revealed that they will become a family of three on Valentine's Day.
After 8 challenging years of IVF, we are thrilled to announce that on our last roll of the dice, we got lucky and are expecting a baby girl. Woo hoo! @Matthew_Wright

The 53-year-old told Hello!, ''it was our final roll of the dice. We’ve waited a long time for this moment. Every day we keep pinching ourselves because we can hardly believe it’s finally happening."
The couple went through a lot of heartaches as they tried to get pregnant.
Amelia fell pregnant naturally in 2009 with twins but sadly suffered a miscarriage and a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.
The 42-year-old said, "I felt an explosion inside of me, and thought, 'That’s it, I’m dying.'"
"It was terrifying. I could see my life flash before me and knew that if doctors had waited to operate, I wouldn't make it to the morning."
Can’t thank @hellomag enough for looking after @mrsameliawright who was feeling pretty queasy during the shoot. Sven’s pix look ace - more inside https://t.co/s1Mjkyj2Gh

IVF treatment resulted in six pregnancies, and subsequent heartbreaking miscarriages.
But it was seventh time lucky on their last attempt and it worked.
Matthew is looking forward to being a stay-at-home dad.
He said, "I’m excited – and terrified. I’ve only ever held two babies in my entire life! Now I can envisage becoming the primary carer when Amelia returns to work."
It is amazing news that their leap of faith paid off - huge congratulations to this couple and we wish Amelia a healthy and happy pregnancy.
