Coleen first announced she was expecting back in August last year. Taking to Twitter she wrote, ' 'So Happy!!! ..... Never denied the news, but I was always protecting it!! Had scan & all checks are fine.....Baby number 4 is on its way. 😍'. sic

Despite the happy announcement, things took a turn for the worse later in the year when Everton and former England footballer Wayne was found guilty of drink driving.

As well as this, Wayne was accused of cheating on Coleen with a girl called Laura Simpson.

After months of rumours about whether or not Coleen would forgive her husband, the 31-year-old broke her silence on the matter in November.

Taking to her Facebook page, Coleen shared a lengthy explanation, admitting she had decided to put her wedding ring back on.

She wrote, 'It didn't feel right wearing my ring, I see it as a sign of commitment and I was unsure what was happening. I don't always wear my ring day to day, especially when I go the gym which is where I get stalked by paps each morning. So, if I don't always have it on, maybe it's just because am going the gym or haven't put it on before the school run!!'

Coleen then told her fans she isn't 'taking Wayne back', due to the fact that he never actually left, after the allegations early this year.

She wrote, 'No, I’m not taking Wayne back as he's never left. Yes, it has been a s--- time, and yes, time was spent apart and I thought my marriage might have been at an end. There’s been so many stories in the press, so many sources chipping in, so called friends having their say and a few well-known names giving their opinion.

She then went on to say her husband gets a hard time in the press, but told her fans he is a 'brilliant dad'.

'Wayne doesn't get portrayed for the person he is in the press, he has always had a hard time. I’m not going to list his good qualities as a person as I don't think he deserves it at this time but one thing is that he is a brilliant dad. He's made silly and selfish mistakes, some he's learnt from, some obviously not. However maybe that will change?

'In life, you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. But one thing I do know is that too much alcohol on a night out is a dangerous and a lot of stupid mistakes are made and things are said under the influence. I would never trust ANYONE who has had a lot of alcohol, it changes some people drastically.'

With all of that now in the past, Coleen and Wayne will be focusing on their brand new arrival.

Baby Cass is the couple's fourth child together, they also share three boys, Kai, seven, Klay, four, and Kit, one.

Congratulations to the couple on their new arrival! 👶
