Olympic gold medalist Jessica Ennis-Hill is pregnant with her first child.
The news means the 27-year-old, who married childhood sweetheart Andy Hill in May 2013, will be forced to miss out on the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The sports star said in a statement: ‘I have some very unexpected but exciting news to share – Andy and I are expecting a baby. We are completely overwhelmed, with excitement and a degree of anxiety that I am sure all first time parents will relate to.
‘My plans for 2014 have been completely turned upside down, but having had a couple of weeks to think about things from a career point of view I am 100% set on returning to full time athletics once our baby is born and go for a second gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 – that challenge really excites me.
