Carrie Symonds – the wife of Prime Minister Boris Johnson – is expecting the couple’s second child.

The pregnancy was revealed when Carrie, 33, posted the news to Instagram.

She wrote:

“Hoping for our rainbow baby this Christmas.

“At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken.

“I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again, but I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves.”

It will be Mr Johnson’s seventh child.

He and Carrie have a one-year-old son Wilfred.

The couple were secretly married in Westminster Cathedral at the end of May last year
