Made In Chelsea star pregnant as she shares sweet pic of blossoming bump
Made In Chelsea star, Jessica Woodley, is expecting her first baby with her partner, Mark Logan. The reality star, 30, broke the happy news on Instagram, telling fans that it was an honour" to become a mother in an adorable post.
Taking to Instagram, Jessica, who shot to fame on the Channel 4 show in 2015 before she left in 2017 after having a relationship with co-star Jamie Laing, shared a snap of her blossoming baby bump.
Captioning the photo, which was taken in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland on a recent holiday, she wrote: "Motherhood, Thankyou for choosing me my sweet child. It is an honour to grow you. You are SO LOVED. You are my Guru now. Your daddy and I are waiting with open arms, Thankyou for blessing us with your grace."
Jessica's baby news comes after she admitted she was still dealing with the 'trauma' of appearing on reality TV, which made her famous. In 2020, she branded her experience 'dangerous', adding that she regretted her decision to take part in MIC as she called for people to "cancel reality TV".
She wrote: "A little personal note to anyone on here who may be following me from when I was on a reality TV show. I just want to express how dangerous the nature of mainstream reality TV is...
"The effects it can have on a human being, to me, it felt like I made a decision at a very young age, resulting in what feels like identity theft.
"Finding my way home has and is taking longer than I expected. I never imagined the repercussions of this choice of mine, but here I am faced with a dilemma and to me a trauma.
"We all made mistakes in life this feels like mine if you are following me for the wrong reasons and support reality TV please unfollow me.
"We need to come together and cancel reality TV. I really really encourage you to erase watching/ supporting these programmes."
Announcing her decision to quit the show eight years ago, Jess said: "I'm not filming for it [the new season]. It's been fantastic and has given me the platform I've always wanted, but now I'm focusing on my fashion brand.
"The door's always open, but I'm taking this time to focus on myself."
Jess was one of MIC's main characters between 2015 and 2017, which saw her sandwiched in a love triangle with show lothario Alex Mytton and his then-girlfriend Nicola Hughes.
The mum-to-be's former co-star, The Hills cast member Stephanie Pratt, later expanded on Jess' decision to quit the show, saying: "I think Made In Chelsea didn't make Jess happy.
"She was definitely the type of person that had rage and regret, so it was harder when it [the show] would come out months later. She just wasn't happy on the show."

BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Tom Skinner hits back at 'hate' after backlash over signing
The Apprentice star Tom Skinner has hit back at the 'hate' he has received after being announced as a contestant on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing Tom Skinner has responded to criticism following his announcement as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. The former Apprentice star was revealed as the tenth celebrity to join this year's line-up of the popular BBC show. However, the decision to include him in the cast was met with backlash from viewers. The 34 year old was introduced in an Instagram post which quickly became a hotbed for disgruntled fans. One commented: "Big yikes and no from me," adding, "Do some more research please, BBC babes." Another chimed in with: "Wow absolutely disgraceful decision," while a third remarked: "Oh no. This man is so offensive." A fourth viewer expressed their disappointment, stating: "Yeah Strictly ... this ain't it. This is such a bad vibe choice. Ugly opinions and deeply polarising. Can't help but feel like this is going to be an own goal", reports the Mirror. On Twitter, Tom boasts over 400,000 followers and his online activity has led to an unexpected friendship with US Vice President JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate. The new Strictly recruit acknowledged the negative comments he received following the announcement. In a recent post, he wrote: "They say don't read the comments on social media. But I couldn't help myself. I've had absolute pellets all day on my Instagram about going on Strictly." He then shared a link to his Instagram page, adding: "Have a look at some of these on Instagram .... Why are some people so angry that don't even know me. Not Bosh." Earlier, he had posted: "Well the news is out about me going on Strictly. Never in a million years did I think I would Receive the amount of messages of support (and the also amount of hate). But thank you to everyone. You're absolutely legends. I'm gonna sit and have a few cold ones and take in what's actually going on. Life is crazy. Gotta grab everything with both hands and take it for what it is. Hope you have a wonderful afternoon. Love you all. Bosh." The fury follows Tom's rise to prominence on social media since his Apprentice stint, where he regularly shares divisive views on business, politics and family matters. He recently alleged he had been sent "death threats" and "vile comments about my children", after posting a string of messages claiming "something's gone wrong" in the UK, whilst declaring "there is nothing wrong with being proud of where you're from". In additional posts that sparked outrage amongst some followers, the TV personality insisted it's "not far-right" to be "flying your flag and loving your country". He also moaned "it ain't safe out there anymore" in London, branding the capital "hostile" and "tense". Both Tom and the BBC have faced a barrage of criticism following the reveal, with several Strictly professionals also coming under fire online. Several of the professional dancers offered him a warm reception on the official Instagram announcement. Shirley Ballas encountered criticism after posting "welcome" to the celebrity. One user slammed: "It's very sad to see the dancers who we've followed and loved supporting far right politics - I guess strictly is a pretty big pay packet." Another commented: "no Shirley. Disappointing from you and @bbcstrictly." And a third remarked: "You've worked with lgbtq+ people your whole life, and you support this? ? ? Disgusting." Supporters also told Gorka Marquez "not you too" as he expressed approval on the post. One user hit out: "your an embarrassment supporting him," after the professional dancer posted three clapping hands emojis. Television personality Narinder Kaur also subsequently slammed the BBC's choice to feature Tom after revealing she was informed she was "too controversial" for the programme herself. In the caption of a video shared to X, the 52 year old Jeremy Vine panellist and former Big Brother contestant wrote: "Apparently I was deemed too controversial for @bbcstrictly because they only hire quiet brown and black women that fit in a box. But you can be a white man AND be controversial and you'll be hired on the spot! Hello Thomas Skinner!!" In her passionate statement, she continued: "There's only so much you can say in a short video, but I felt something many others have been feeling all day and that was complete shock and utter bewilderment – to see Thomas be announced in the line-up, considering all the rhetoric about how people with right-wing opinions are cancelled and not allowed on the BBC. "I've debated Tom on Good Morning Britain before, I supported his book release at his launch party, there is a huge disparity in what certain demographics of people are allowed to say and still get one show after another. "I met the Strictly team at the TV Choice Awards earlier this year and got talking to one of the bookers about the show generally – and she said 'You're a bit too controversial and we can't have that for the show.'". Strictly, presented by Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, will make its comeback on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in September, featuring Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas on the judging panel.
