Former Strictly Come Dancing star Erin Boag has revealed that she is pregnant with her first child.
The professional dancer, who is married to businessman Peter O’Dowd, admitted that the pitter patter of tiny feet is the real reason she decided to leave the hit show.

She told the Sunday Mirror: “It’s such a relief to be able to tell all as it’s been strictly mum’s the word these past few months.”
Erin shocked fans back in June when she announced she would not be returning for this year’s series of the celebrity dance competition.

At the time she said: “After 10 wonderful years, and with a truly heavy heart, I have decided to decline the BBC’s very kind offer to compete again in series 11… It’s been a very hard decision to make, but it’s time for a change and to focus my attention on new challenges.”
Despite the news the 39-year-old will still be taking to the floor this Christmas with her professional dance partner Anton Du Beke for Anton & Erin’s Christmas Cracker.
