At the beginning of this year, the athlete revealed that she was pregnant. At the time she said: “I have some very unexpected but exciting news to share – Andy and I are expecting a baby.
“We are completely overwhelmed, with excitement and a degree of anxiety that I am sure all first time parents will relate to”.
Jessica also said that she now intends to return to full-time athletics and has hopes of going for a second gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
