Nadia Essex is pregnant with her first child.
The former \'Celebs Go Dating\' star is 14 weeks pregnant, and admits it is a "miracle" after her doctor gave her a "less than one per cent chance of conception".
She said: "I\'ve gone from a hellish year to being blessed with a baby.
"The odds weren\'t in my favour, as for so long I thought I couldn\'t have children - so this is the best thing that\'s ever happened to me. It\'s a miracle.
"My doctor told me there was less than one per cent chance of conception. Everyone\'s shocked, but I wouldn\'t change a thing."
The 37-year-old star is no longer with the baby\'s father, and has chosen not to name him.
Nadia admitted she tried for a baby with a former partner.
She added to Closer magazine: "I had tried for a baby 10 years ago with a previous partner, with no success."
Last September, Nadia said she had reached "rock bottom" and suffered from "suicidal thoughts" after she was suspended from \'Celebs Go Dating\' for setting up fake Twitter profiles. The relationship expert resigned from the E4 show earlier that month.
She said: "I have had suicidal thoughts from the mountain of abuse I have received. I\'ve been told to kill myself.
"Looking back on it now, I didn\'t deal with it in the right way, I know that. I\'ve been called a fat ugly b***h on a daily basis. I\'ve been told to kill myself. I\'ve been told I am the most hated woman in Britain."
Nadia said she only made up the fake profiles because she had been told not to speak out publicly over allegations her fellow \'Celebs Go Dating\' co-star Eden Blackman had been cheating on his girlfriend.
She said: "After it came out about Eden\'s cheating I needed to vent. I wasn\'t allowed to speak out as myself because I was warned to keep quiet.
"I felt like I wasn\'t allowed my freedom of speech and was told not to put out a public statement. I was in completely the wrong head space. I was a mess. I couldn\'t leave the house because I was terrified people would hurl abuse at me in the street.
"People were so angry I wasn\'t condemning Eden\'s cheating that I was getting abused online constantly.
"I felt like I couldn\'t speak up. It was humiliating. I was devastated and petrified and I didn\'t know what to do. I was depressed and I felt desperate. I am at rock bottom."
