TV explorer Levison Wood is set to become a father as he reveals new girlfriend is pregnant - just days after sharing romance
It was just four days ago when the TV explorer announced he had found love with a new lady in his life.
The world adventurer, 43, gushed over his new romance with former model turned yoga teacher, Ana on social media.
Sharing a sweet photo on Instagram on Sunday, he wrote: 'Happy birthday to this wonderful human being! (And yep we're having a baby, not just a big lunch)'
He shared a sweet image of his glamorous girlfriend showing off her growing bump, as the pair beamed with happiness.

Fans were quick to offer their well wishes to Levison, who was considered Britain's most eligible bachelor at one point.
Some comments read: 'Congrats to you both and enjoy the ride, so many adventures coming your way',
'Congrats Lev! Welcome to the dad club mate'.
Earlier this week, the former army officer told his Instagram followers: 'Over the years I've met many people on the road, but every now and then, someone comes along who doesn't just travel with you, but changes the pace of the journey entirely.
'This is Ana. We've been exploring a shared path together lately, one filled with plenty of adventures, challenges and commitment. An exciting new chapter awaits.'
He also shared some images of them together - one which included a picture of them canoeing, and another which saw them embracing in front of a vast mountain.
Judging by the images, it's clear the pair share a mutual love for the great outdoors.
Levison's followers were quick to throw their support behind the star, with one stating: 'Delighted to meet you Ana!! You two make a beautiful couple, good luck with all the travels and fun in your future xxx'

Another added: 'Wishing you many adventures together'
The explorer has been open about his desire to find romance in the past, and even admitted to joining dating apps in the hope of doing so.
In an interview with MailOnline in 2021, the former soldier said: 'I used dating apps: I don't see a problem with it. I use them when I want to use them.
'That is how people meet these days, isn't it? How else can you meet your woman?'
Levison also opened up about exactly what his type is, saying: 'I don't like to put people into boxes.
'If a woman is intelligent, interesting and fun - that is the basis really. I don't really care what job they do or anything like that.
'It is also about being comfortable in somebody's company and enjoying spending time with them.'
After lockdown Levison was the victim of stalking, with the perpetrator jailed for 13 months.
Fiza Jabeen, a doctor, made Wood so fearful for his and his family's safety that he decided to sell his London home.
But after moving - and after Jabeen was made the subject of a restraining order - she tracked him down once again, visiting Levison's home at the time in Richmond.
The doctor was jailed for 13 months after admitting one offence of stalking and harassment having sent the TV personality 'explicit and unpleasant messages' via social media.
Levison's most recent endeavour - after a career where he served as a Major in the army, became a best-selling author and produced a host of documentaries - saw him embark on a tour called Walking the World: A Life of Exploration and Adventure.
Levison delves into his extraordinary 20 years as an explorer, during which time he has experienced the amazing and the tragic, in the set of shows.
During an expedition along the 4000-mile long Nile River from Rwanda to Egypt, a journalist travelling with the explorer named Matt Power was overcome with heat stroke and tragically died. Levison called his death 'a haunting moment that stays with me every day'.
And in his closest brush up with death, the 43-year-old almost lost his life during a trek across the Himalayas in 2015.
He came face to face with tigers, crocodiles and even a cannibal on the remarkable journey but it was a short car ride which was almost his undoing.
After being left with nowhere to sleep as night fell, Wood and his colleagues piled into an SUV and paid the driver to take them to the nearest town in search of a bed.
As the vehicle wound its way along the treacherous mountain scape, its brake cable snapped throwing it off the edge of a cliff and into a ravine.
Somehow Levison and all the other passengers survived, with the explorer later saying: 'We are lucky to be alive'.

Trump to land in Scotland on Friday for start of five-day private trip
The US president is expected to arrive at Prestwick Airport in the evening, before heading over to his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire. He is then expected to head over to his Menie golf course in Aberdeenshire before opening up a new course dedicated to his Scottish mother, who grew up on the Isle of Lewis. He will leave the country at some point on Tuesday. His presence will result in a significant operation from Police Scotland and thousands of officers, who are expected to deal with mass protests around his golf courses and major Scottish cities. Mr Trump will be greeted by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray when he lands, with the minister pledging to give the American leader a 'warm welcome'. He will meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his stay when the pair will discuss the UK-US trade deal. The US president will also meet with First Minister John Swinney. The SNP leader previously said he would have the opportunity to raise various issues with Mr Trump, including tariffs, Gaza and Ukraine. Speaking ahead of his arrival, Mr Swinney said the global attention the visit will receive provides Scotland with an opportunity to respectfully demonstrate the principles of freedom and justice for all, while also promoting Scotland's tourism sector and economic investment potential. He said: 'Scotland shares a strong friendship with the United States that goes back centuries. 'That partnership remains steadfast through economic, cultural and ancestral links – including of course, with the President himself. 'As we welcome the President of the United States, Scotland will be showcased on the world stage. 'This provides Scotland with a platform to make its voice heard on the issues that matter, including war and peace, justice and democracy. 'It also includes the millions of Americans – many of them potential future tourists or investors in Scotland – who will watch their elected President as he visits our country. 'As First Minister it is my responsibility to advance our interests, raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza, and ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world. 'That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland.' The SNP leader said Scotland is a 'proud democratic nation' that 'stands firm on the principles of equality and freedom for all, and a society that stands up for a fair and just world'. Ahead of protests expected around Scotland, he said people had a right to 'peaceful demonstration', adding that 'everyone has the democratic right to protect and express their views in a peaceful, and democratic manner'. 'That is right and proper,' he added. 'I am confident the vast majority of people protesting will do Scotland proud and demonstrate as they should – peacefully and lawfully. 'I am also confident that Scotland's police service can handle the challenge of keeping all our communities safe and, as they must, in maintaining the appropriate security any US President requires. 'This weekend is a landmark moment in our relationship with the United States, and I am certain it will be remembered for Scotland showing the world the very best of itself.'
