She looked amazing as she posed in a see-through jumpsuit with cutouts and showed off her blossoming baby bump.
Fleur could be seen hugging her belly in the cute photo.
She wrote: “2024 will be different,” with a baby and love heart emoticon.
Her celebrity friends were quick to congratulate her.
Actress and presenter Kym Marsh wrote: “Ahhh baby!!!! I’m so happy for you! Congratulations.”
Strictly’s Neil Jones posted: “Wooooow this is the best news, congratulations. I wish Marcel was my dad.”
Laura Whitmore said: “Congratulations,” with a heart in love emoji.
Strict star Fleur is married to fashion designer and stylist Marcel Badiane-Robin.
Marcel and Fleur reportedly first met in 2009 after meeting in a bar – the pair then started dating in 2010.
After nearly a decade together, the couple tied the knot at the show’s closing ceremony in Morocco with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop in 2019.
There were 120 guests on the day of the wedding – including Fleur’s I’m A Celebrity co-stars Harry Redknapp and Malique Thompson-Dwyer.
And it seems love is still in the air for the couple – after five years of wedded bliss, Fleur said her marriage is only going from strength to strength – and she has a lot to thank for that.
In October 2022, Fleur revealed that her sexy ballroom routines had changed her marriage.
Speaking to The Sun, Fleur said: ”I have to say it was like getting married again after the Argentine tango.
“If you want the spark to reignite in your marriage, do Strictly.
“Because honestly, we’ve been together for 12 years, when have you ever seen me in a new outfit every week moving my hips like that.
“When do you even get to do that for your partner?
“It’s like I’m performing for him, every Saturday night. I just want him to sit there and say, ‘Wow, that’s my wife!’
“The Strictly curse? It doesn’t even bother him.
“He says, ‘Fleur whatever you need to do’. He’s my biggest cheerleader and he says, ‘if you need to be passionate about that dance, then I have to believe in passion.’
“When he comes to rehearsal, there is no cheating. He says, ‘No, she can bring more than that!’
“We’re a lot closer now because we’re going through this together and we’re just having so many more intimate moments and he just gets it.”
Fleur has previously spoken about the pressures she’s felt about motherhood since getting married.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun in 2021, Fleur said: “Everyone in my life is begging me to have children. It has reached that stage.
“Me and my husband are really motivated and work hard on our careers. He’s in fashion and I’m doing 10,000 things at once.
“We definitely want to have a family, but we don’t put pressure on it. Our mothers would say otherwise, now they are blistering. They want grandchildren.
“My mom is not a grandmother yet. She says, ‘Give me my grandchildren’.”
