Michaels fans were quick to write supportive messages to the dad-of-one, while slamming the follower for being inappropriate.

Martha said at the time: "It hasn't been this exciting, wonderful time for us. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining.

Martha revealed that the horrifying sickness meant she lost ten kilograms in weight in just a matter of weeks.

Zoe and Alex from series one had a daughter called Harper, before they split up.
Jules and Cam from series six had a son called Oliver, and series eight stars Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson have twins, Levi and Tate.
