Operation Transformation star Marie Clear is pregnant

The TV star announced the news in an emotional post on Instagram this week.

She said she has worked so hard to get to this point in her life and feels overjoyed to be pregnant with her first child.

Alongside a video of her ultrasound, Marie said she's gaining weight for the right reasons now.

"So here’s the reason I have been so quiet. I’m bursting with joy and happiness and growing this little human inside me.

"I have worked so hard to get to this part of my life with weight loss and the amazing journey with Operation Transformation," she continued.

Marie added: "I am now gaining again but all for the right reasons and I am not one bit worried as I have all the tools to start all over again."

Marie added a message of hope for anyone else trying to get pregnant.

"One thing I will say never give up as dreams do come true," she added.

The mum-to-be told The Irish Sun that this is her miracle baby.

"This was all I ever wanted. This is a miracle baby for me because my dreams have finally come through.”

Marie has Achondroplasia but her baby has a 50/50 chance of having the condition.

She said she doesn't mind if they do as long as they're healthy.

"If the baby has Achondroplasia, I don’t mind as long as it’s healthy. It’s a 50/50 chance," she added.
