Rebecca and Andrew have been dating since January 2018 after they met through the dating app Bumble and moved in together last summer.

It has not been the easiest journey for Rebecca, as she previously revealed in November that she was left unable to walk when she fell down the stairs and injured her ankle.

She told how she was ‘in pain and swollen’ after a particularly hard week and explained she fell down ‘some steps’ on to her ankle.

Rebecca also spoke about the difficulties of having a child amid the coronavirus pandemic, confessing that she felt ‘disconnected’ from others due to current restrictions, and was terrified at the prospect of welcoming her child alone.

She shared: ‘Andy hasn’t been allowed to come to any hospital appointments, many of my friends and family I still haven’t seen, no baby shower.

‘I only met my midwife for the first time last week so it’s felt a lot more disconnected and I’m not even allowing myself to think about the possibility of having to give birth by myself. That terrifies me.’

The star also spoke about juggling her pregnancy with renovation work at her home, before asking her social media followers for name suggestions and revealing that her daughter was ‘beyond excited’ about his arrival.

Rebecca married her ex Harry in 2014 and split in 2016, after 18 months of marriage. 

Prior to welcoming her new arrival, Rebecca revealed she is not a ‘strict parent’ with Summer, as she said that people expect her to be harder on her daughter because of her experience of training for the Olympics

However, Rebecca said that she and ex Harry, 29, who is a former swimmer himself, have adopted a ‘good cop and bad cop’ style of parenting. 

She said that she is a soft parent, hinting that Harry takes the role of ‘bad cop’ in the candid insight into their life as exes.
