The dancer announced Zoe, who he married in 2010, was pregnant again with a sweet Instagram post back in September while they were on holiday.

Zoe followed suit and posted a similar picture on Instagram and joked: “Yes it's true! Came back from Mallorca recently with a little excess baggage!”

Brendan revealed BBC bosses hadn't renewed his Strictly contract earlier this year.

The Sun revealed the professional dancer was being dropped by the BBC after defying orders by waltzing with Camilla Parker-Bowles, 70, at Buckingham Palace.

“They made a big mistake.

“I think he knew before he heard from them.”
