Sharing identical posts, the TV stars captioned the images: ‘Something fantastic is making us glad, we’re changing our names to Mum and Dad.’
The couple appeared in great spirits as they hugged outside their doorstep, with the former Miss Great Britain winner highlighting her growing baby bump in a clingy black dress.
Shelby and Sam were flooded with love from their pals, with heavily-pregnant Danielle Armstrong, mother-of-one Ferne McCann and pal Demi Sims leading the well-wishers.
The pair recently shared their plans to leave ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex, where they first found love.
In October, Sam made the announcement in a lengthy Instagram post as he explained he was planning to focus on his ‘fairytale’ relationship with Shelby and move on from the ‘pressure and anxiety’ on the show.
