The Team GB hero, who is Britain's most successful female Olympian, revealed that she was expecting her first child on Valentine’s Day this year.

She shared the news my posting a photo of a tiny child’s bike leaning against their own, captioned simply with a heart.

Speaking about raising their child earlier this year, she told the Standard: “Me and Jason have had the conversation about consoles and phones.

“That is what [children] have grown up with now. I never had a PlayStation or anything like that. I had a phone in Year 8 — I think but that was it. It is about teaching them to be active from a young age. Hopefully, they will want to do [sport] rather than just sit on the sofa all day.

“It is never the child’s fault when you see little overweight children. Part of it is they don’t know any different.

“A bit of me feels so sorry for them as they haven’t experienced what I experienced as a child. I know how happy and how healthy my childhood was.”

Laura and Jason married in a secret ceremony last September, after meeting during the 2012 London Olympics.
