Megan McKenna has spoken about the planning of her upcoming wedding with fiancé Oliver Burke and has revealed the adorable role their baby Landan will play.
Joining Christine Lampard as she took on hosting duties for Lorraine, the former The Only Way Is Essex star, 32, was chatting about her new Sunday Times Bestselling cook book, Love Gluten Free. The star regularly goes viral on TikTok for her delicious gluten free meals. Megan wasn’t alone during her chat however, as her adorable son Landan was seen backstage.
Megan and her fiancé, footballer Oliver Burke, welcomed their first child in October 2024, over a year after Oliver popped the question. Now, the star’s opening up about her upcoming wedding. Chatting to Christine, Megan revealed she was “loving wedding planning,” however, is feeling the pressure of fitting into her dress due to her love of food.
As baby Landan watched his mum’s interview from backstage, Megan adorably revealed he’d be taking on the role of ring bearer for the upcoming nuptials. The star recently moved to Germany due to her partner’s footballing career. Asked by Christine how her German was getting on, Megan laughed: “Not very well.”
At the time of her and Oliver’s engagement, Megan shared an adorable video alongside the caption: “YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… here’s to forever my future husband.” Oliver then commented: “I promise to love you for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to grow old with you my wife to be. I love you. Forever. And always.”
Less than a year later, the pair announced their pregnancy in April 2024 with another adorable video. Megan later announced that she had a difficult pregnancy after suffering from both a ‘painful abscess’ and an allergic reaction to medication. The allergy caused swelling around her tongue and neck and landed her in hospital.
At the dauting time, she announced to her followers: “Now it’s all about trying to get better, it’s just so bad. Just being pregnant has made my body so much more sensitive, I am allergic to everything.
“I’ve been in so much pain. I’ve been on codeine and paracetamol and when I say that the codeine just takes the edge off, I have still been in pain. Honestly, it’s the worst thing ever, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
