Sam Reece, 33, disclosed on Instagram that he and his wife Maddison Eckhardt are preparing for a second child, a decade after Stephanie Davis cheated on him during the Celebrity Big Brother series.

The couple already have a son, and Reece posted a photo of the boy wearing a 'Big Brother' cap, writing: "Indi wanted a sibling, so we gave him what he wanted... Numero 2 incoming."

Sam and Maddison became engaged in 2024 and were married in August of this year.

Reece previously suffered when ex-Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis, also 33, was unfaithful with Jeremy McConnell in the 2016 Celebrity Big Brother house.

One year after that controversial encounter, Stephanie and Jeremy, 36, welcomed son Caben-Albi, and the pair separated a few weeks later.

At that time, Reece said of his former partner: "I don't take any notice on what is going on with her now. I've not spoken to Steph for most of the year - we have no contact at all. The last time I spoke to her was the day she walked into Big Brother. She does have the right family behind her so she'll be fine."

Beyond his role on Ex on the Beach, Reece also appeared on The Real Housewives of Cheshire and dated Dawn Ward's daughter Taylor.

He has since stepped away from the spotlight and now works as a hairdresser.
