The couple, whose daughter Ruby was born in September, are said to be 'delighted' by the news.

The baby is due in November but the star has vowed to press ahead with the filming of the third series of her chat show this summer.

A statement published on Ms Church's official website said the couple were "delighted" to announce a second baby is on the way.

The statement said: "The couple are thrilled, as are their immediate families."

The 22-year-old, formerly known for her love of partying, has appeared to settle down since starting her family.

Speculation about a possible pregnancy was fuelled when Church was pictured looking particularly curvaceous.

She recently backed a campaign to encourage mothers to breast-feed.

She and Henson, 26, live in a spacious small-holding near Bridgend in South Wales.

Her mum Maria, 41, said: "People think Charlotte still loves nightclubs, but she is so much happier at home."

Church will continue as host of Channel 4's The Charlotte Church Show in July and August of this year.

Henson has missed the wales tour to South Africa with an ankle injury.
