Cheryl led the congratulatory messages to Khloe Kardashian after the reality TV star confirmed the news that she is pregnant.

Kardashian ended months of speculation by posting a black and white shot of herself and boyfriend Tristan Thompson cradling her baby bump.

The Instagram post was liked more than six million times in less than 24 hours and attracted congratulatory messages from stars including Cheryl.

The former X Factor judge, who gave birth to her first child with Liam Payne in March, said Kardashian “truly deserved” the good news.

“Khloeeee!!! such amazing news,” she commented.

“I could not be happier for you. You gorgeous soul! You are about to have the best, most precious time of your life. And you truly deserve it.

“Congratulations Mommy. Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy and what a wonderful way to start a new year.”

Kardashian broke the news that she is expecting with NBA star Thompson on Wednesday night, telling fans her 'greatest dream' has been realised.

She wrote: “We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can't believe that our love created life!

Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!! You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned! I will never forget how wonderful you've been to me during this time! Thank you for making me so happy my love!”

She said she is feeling “thankful, excited, nervous, eager, overjoyed and scared all in one” at the prospect of motherhood.

Following the announcement she admitted to being “nervous”, but said she was “overwhelmed” by the outpouring of support.

She tweeted: “I was so nervous to post our announcement but WOWWW I am overwhelmed with the response by you guys!!! Thank you! Thank you! I love you guys!!”
