The 46-year-old naturalist and the Olympic rowing champion already have 14-month-old son Logan James David together, but they're now set to expand their family once more, as Helen has revealed she is pregnant with the couple's second child.

Speaking as she debuted her baby bump at the Animal Hero Awards - where she presented Barrie the dog with the award for Inspirational Animal of the Year - Helen, 33, said: "I'm definitely blaming my pregnancy hormones for this, but I've been crying about this story all day."

The pregnancy comes after the couple first announced in 2018 they were expecting twins, but revealed just three months before Logan's birth that they had tragically lost one of their babies.

At the time, Helen wrote on social media: "Thanks for all your lovely messages.

"We've had the hard news that one baby hasn't made it but we are very excited and hopeful for the remaining baby to arrive this summer."

The rowing star thankfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy in July 2018, and revealed the news in a black and white snap of Steve holding their baby's tiny foot in his hand.

Helen wrote: "Steve and I will are excited to welcome Baby Boy Backshall to the world, we promise to make it a great one for you little man @backshall.steve. (sic)"

And the 'Deadly 60' star also shared the same snap of their baby boy.

He added the caption: "The biggest adventure begins @Helenglovergb. (sic)"

As of the time of writing, it's not known when Helen is expected to give birth.
