Underwood and her husband Mike Fisher are already parents to son Isaiah, three.

She announced she was expecting another child in an Instagram video on Wednesday, in which she said: “Mike and Isaiah and I are absolutely over the moon and excited to be adding another little fish to our pond.”

The couple celebrated their eighth anniversary on July 11, when Underwood wrote on Instagram: “Here’s to 8 years, babe! Where does the time go?!

“I love you today more than yesterday…which was more than the day before…and so on and so forth. Here’s to many more years together!”

Underwood will be the headline act at the new festival The Long Road, in Leicestershire in September.
