Britain’s Bake Off star Manon Lagrève has announced that she is pregnant with her second child (seen with husband Luke Bennett and daughter Fleur, two).
The 31-year-old French chef, who starred on the series in 2018, shared the happy news on Monday that she and her husband Luke will be welcoming a baby in the spring (seen with Fleur).
She said hello! Magazine about the second pregnancy: “Fleur is very excited.” She says in French: “Baby in the stomach” and gives him kisses and cuddles.
Manon is 24 weeks pregnant and is due to give birth at the end of March.
The couple have already found out the gender but are keeping it a secret to surprise their families.
“We had to know – we couldn’t wait until birth to find out.” “Plus, it’s great for Fleur to know because she can really relate to the bump,” she added to the publication.
Manon married her partner Luke last June in a picturesque ceremony at a French chateau in her hometown of Louvigné-du-Désert.
The baker tied the knot with her British fiancé, with the couple’s beautiful baby daughter Fleur, then 12 months old, acting as flower girl.
Manon then took to Instagram to share an intimate look at her wedding, sharing a series of stunning snaps documenting her fairytale wedding and stunning wedding dress.
The couple’s daughter, Fleur, acted as flower girl on their special day, wearing a dress with the sweet “I love you, Mom and Dad” embroidery on the back in French.
Manon was every bit the beautiful bride as she stepped out in a gorgeous off-the-shoulder white dress with bardot sleeves with a neckline and white heeled sandals.

The newlyweds appeared to be in a cheerful mood as photos taken during the church ceremony showed Manon beaming as they exchanged vows in front of their loved ones.
Other pictures showed Luke carrying Manon out of the castle as her friends and family showered her with confetti as they then posed outside for more professional wedding photos.
The couple and their guests then celebrated their wedding with a fun wedding reception in a marquee where they danced the night away with their loved ones.
Manon – who made it to week eight of Bake Off in 2018 – shared a series of her wedding photos on her Instagram page and captioned the post: “Today I officially got married in my hometown.”
She wrote: “We welcomed the wedding party the night before.” “Luke had a small barbecue with his family and friends and I enjoyed a French buffet at the castle with my bridesmaids and their husbands.”
In a follow-up post, she revealed that she hadn’t slept the night before, nor had her baby daughter Fleur, and said that “strong coffee” kept her awake throughout the day.
Manon arrived at her lavish wedding ceremony in a blue Porsche and Manon revealed that her father drove her to the ceremony in the vehicle.
Manon and Luke’s wedding took place after they welcomed their first child in June 2021.
She shared on Instagram at the time that she gave birth to a “happy and healthy” baby girl named Fleur Camille on June 20.
The French baker also shared the first photos of the little newborn, showing the first moment she gave her daughter skin-to-skin.
Manon wrote alongside the trio of photos: “Fleur Camille Bennett.”
“Born on Father’s Day, June 20, 2021, all happy and healthy.” A little lady who surprised us when she decided to come! We love her very much already.’
Back in April 2021, the baker celebrated her seventh pregnancy and joked about having a “baby brain.”
Manon wrote: “Seven months pregnant, I can’t believe in two months we are going to be parents and have our own baby!!!”
“I kept telling my friends that I have taken care of so many babies and it will be so interesting to see how I react to ours.”
“Plus, the baby’s brain is developing a lot and I feel like I forget what I’m supposed to do ten times a day.”

The French baker confirmed at the time that her boyfriend “got down on one knee” with a stunning sapphire ring shortly after she arrived at her boutique hotel during their Caribbean vacation.
Admitting it wasn’t a surprise, Manon said: “We’ve been talking about getting married for some time.” It was love at first sight…
“After two weeks we were boyfriend and girlfriend and within four months I moved in with him. When you find the right thing, you just know.”
