Manon welcomed her first child Fleur back in 2021 - and now her firstborn is ready to become a big sister.
She told Hello! magazine in an accompanying interview, "Fleur is very excited. She says: ‘Baby in the tummy,’ in French, and gives it kisses and strokes."
The star, who is currently 24 weeks pregnant, added, "We needed to know – we couldn’t wait until the birth to find out.
"Also, it’s great for Fleur to know because she can really bond with the bump."
The couple have decided not to disclose the sex of their unborn child.
Manon and Luke hit it off after meeting at a mutual friend's party, going on to get engaged in 2020.
Luke got down on one knee during a Barbados getaway and they tied the knot at an idyllic ceremony in her native Brittany.
