She wrote: "I'm very excited to share my news that I'm going to be a mummy.

"I'm so happy, and it's been really hard to keep it a secret.

"It's funny that both myself and Simon Cowell, who is patron of my charity the Katie Piper Foundation, are going through the same experience.

"Perhaps the children will be playmates one day."

Piper, 30, had her 12-week scan last week. She and her partner of two years, moved in together last year. In 2008, the mum-to-be was the victim of an acid attack. The attack, which blinded Piper in one eye, was arranged by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch, and carried out by an accomplice, Stefan Sylvestre.

The incident was caught on CCTV and both Lynch and Sylvestre were arrested. Lynch received two life sentences, and will serve a minimum of 16 years. Sylvestre received a life sentence, and will serve a minimum of 12 years.
