At seven months pregnant SÍLE SEOIGE possesses a gorgeous pregnancy glow. While the Gaeilgeoir feels very empowered by her bump, she admits to being riddled with insecurity too.

"It is funny, in the beginning you put on a few pounds – well I did – and I didn’t look pregnant. I looked like I had been living in the fridge but then when you physically get the bump it is a weird one – you feel very empowered by it and then on the ip side you are riddled with insecurity and are very self- conscious as your body is changing on a daily basis. I am in a constant state of amazement at myself and my other half jokingly says, “Are you looking in the mirror again”. But I am in awe – you have no control over it and your body is doing its own thing."

The 38-year-old presenter has had a challenging few years from her cancer battle to career highs and lows, but she has since found love with her Garda boyfriend Damien O’Farrell and is now expecting their first baby.

"We are together two years since January and it is going great. He can’t wait to be a dad himself."

Speaking about her cancer affecting her chances of getting pregnant, Sile said

"Even though I had been assured by medical staff that treatment wouldn’t affect fertility; at the end of the day you are not well, you are sick, you are taking medication so there has to be an impact. I do believe the body is always working towards healing itself, it wants to get better so it will work with you. Sometimes the illness is stronger than the desire for the body to heal but I think the body is amazing at renewal. I was dong all the right things to make sure I was healthy as I could be."

Sile did admit they weren't trying for a baby but her pregnancy wasn't a surprise either,

"I wouldn’t say it was an accident but we are very lucky. In fact, I am still pinching myself. You are bombarded all the time that when you reach a certain age your fertility may decline. I am now nearly 38 so you would understand you are getting on in years in relation to baby making and the concern would be that it might or might not happen. Luckily, I had gotten to a place where I was okay with it not happening, I didn’t feel the need."
