After Kate told them to look at the book 'page by page', Lorenz read out: "Before we used to argue everyday of the week, now for the next chapter. Guess what?"
Kate then said: "I'm pregnant!" and showed off her baby bump, exclaiming: "Did you not notice guys?"
The children were seen jumping for joy at the news, with Tia exclaiming: "Sister, sister", and the boys repeatedly asking: "Are you actually?".
This is Kate's first pregnancy. She is step mum to Rio's kids, who he shares with his late wife Rebecca Ellison. Rebecca sadly died of cancer in 2015.
