'You are already loved baby girl!' Karim Zeroual to be a dad

Karim Zeroual is to be a father for the first time.

The 30-year-old TV presenter and actor - who finished runner-up in 2019's 'Strictly Come Dancing', alongside 'EastEnders' star Emma Barton - and his girlfriend Yazminn Greene, 23, are expecting a baby girl in March.

Karim wrote on Instagram: "It’s been a minute family!

I’m back with my proudest news yet!

Baby Zeroual coming March 2024

You are so loved already baby girl (sic)"

Several stars took to Instagram to congratulate the couple, including Emma - who was partnered with Anton Du Beke when she and Karim were runners up to Kelvin Fletcher in the 17th series of the Latin and ballroom show - and 'Strictly' pro dancer Nadiya Bychkova.

Emma wrote: "Awwwww congratulations guys! (sic)"

Nadiya posted: "Congratulations. so happy for you guys"

'Strictly' judge Motsi Mabuse wrote: "congratulations"

Former 'Coronation Street' star Ellie Leach, who was the 'Strictly' 2023 champion, posted: "ahhhh omg yay!!!! congratulations (sic)"

Former 'TOWIE' star Ferne McCann commented: "Ahhhhhh babe congrats omg you guys (sic)"

Before his 'Strictly' stint, Karim was best known for portraying Sadiq in CBBC's 'The Sparticle Mystery', which spanned three series between 2011 and 2015.

In 2019, Karim - who once appeared on 'Celebs Go Dating' looking for love alongside the likes of 'TOWIE' star Joey Essex, and former 'Love Island' contestant Curtis Pritchard - partnered pro dancer Amy Dowden for the 17th 'Strictly' series, and they received the first 40-point maximum score of the series in week 11.

But the pair, and Emma and Anton, narrowly lost out to Kelvin Fletcher and Motsi's sister Oti Mabuse in the final.
