The couple first announced they were expecting in April, sharing a video that featured McKenna holding ultrasound scans while sitting in a car with Burke.

The proposal featured pyrotechnics and a heartfelt moment as Burke got down on one knee with McKenna blindfolded.
McKenna shared her excitement at the time, posting,“YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… Here’s to forever my future husband.”
The TV star, known for her appearances on Towie, Celebrity Big Brother, and Ex On The Beach, has had a successful career in reality TV. In November 2019, she was crowned the winner of The X Factor: Celebrity, beating out competition from Jenny Ryan, girl group V5, and twins Max and Harvey.
