Earlier this year Robinson reflected on her first pregnancy, which was in 2020, the 41-year-old said the differences between then and now were clear.

“I guess when I was pregnant [with Ollie], I didn’t have my ‘force’ – which I have built around me over the past few years. I found it really hard,” she told Stellar Magazine.

“I didn’t like all of the attention and negativity from horrible people about my body when I was pregnant, and the terrible messages. They’d say, ‘I hope you have a painful miscarriage’ and horrible things like that. Some people can just be terrible.

“This time round, it has been really lovely. I can’t really hide it anymore. I am popped. It has been nice keeping it between family and friends and a bit more private this time.”

Robinson said the couple, who met on MAFS in 2019, weren’t finished expanding their family yet and could have a third down the line.

“We want little babies running around. We’ll maybe go again if we’re lucky,” she said.
