Congratulations!

TOWIE star Maddie Hooper is expecting her first child, according to one of her best friends. Her pal and co-star, Ruby Lacey, confirmed the news on social media with a photo of her baby scan. She captioned it:

“My bestest is having a bubba @maddiehooperxx.”

She followed it up with a series of photos that revealed Maddie is expecting. The pictures included a batch of tasty treats, including a box of 12 Krispy Kreme doughnuts that Maddie had given her. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaSF9CsnB7M/ Alongside the scan, Ruby also shared a photo of a card that said:

“Mummy’s told me that you’re going to be the best Auntie.”

The pair, who are close pals with Georgia Kousoulou and Amber Dowding, joined The Only Way Is Essex for its twenty first series. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZt_iQJHvPe/?taken-by=maddiehooperxx But their roles are reportedly going to be “severely reduced” after show bosses found out the girls, who had claimed to be single, were in relationships. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZJtXVin5Km/?taken-by=maddiehooperxx An insider told The Sun:

“Bosses had high hopes for Ruby and Maddie and thought they would bring some drama to the show. “It was understood that they were both single when filming started but producers soon realised they that they had boyfriends. "Their roles have now been so severely reduced that they will just play the part as extras in nightclub and party scenes.”
