TOWIE’s First Baby! Reality Star’s Ex-Girlfriend Is Expecting

TOWIE star Dan Osborne is to become a dad with his ex-girlfriend and has promised he will support her throughout and after her pregnancy.

The 23-year-old said he's excited about becoming a dad and will be there for the mum-to-be, the Mirror reports.

TOWIE'S Dan posts a photo of himself in a onesie. 

This could put a strain on himself and Lucy Mecklenburgh's relationship which is just at that early, blossoming reality TV show love stage.

Mecklenburgh started dating the model and tattoo artist since they first hooked up in Marbella last month.

Dan has since started dating Lucy Mecklenburgh since his ex-girlfriend. 

Dan went along for the first scan and said himself and his ex have always been close.

A source says: “Dan is still close to her, so he is being really supportive. He went along for the scan and everything.

“He’s so excited about being a dad. Everyone who knows Dan knows that he will be really hands-on and make a great father. It’s an exciting time for everyone.”

Earlier this week Dan described the unnamed girl as an "on-off girlfriend" that he still really cares about. They broke up just before his Marbella break.

There are no plans as of yet for the anonymous lady to take part in the show.
