Pregnant Love Island star Kendall Rae Knight reveals she’s ‘high risk’ for premature labour amid health struggle
She left Love Island single but her wishes came true one year later when she met Welsh hunk Andrew.

They shared their pregnancy news last year, and honest Kendall opened up about her “high risk” pregnancy.

During a Q&A with fans, someone said to her: “How far along are you? You look amazing,” to which Kendall replied: “Oh thanks, I don’t feel it but I’m not going to say exactly how far along I am.

“People get so fixated on the date – whether it’s people around you or myself or whatever.

“And also for medical reasons because I have in the past had a few treatments and operations and things that can make me high risk of having a baby super early.

“I am having all of that checked out soon, so fingers crossed everything is going to be alright and I’ll be able to carry full term.”

Kendall ended her message by saying she’d “done four months” but “didn’t have much of a bump yet”.
