Holly Stark, who appeared on the first season of Channel 4's dating programme Virgin Island, has announced she is pregnant with her first child. The reality star shared the news on Instagram, posting a photograph of a white baby grow with the words 'Coming soon', alongside a scan image and a positive pregnancy test.
In the caption, Stark wrote: 'Baby Grant, due August 2026.' She is expecting the baby with her boyfriend David, whom she confirmed as her partner on social media in December last year. The couple were pictured at the Edinburgh Christmas markets in a post that made their relationship public.
Stark's announcement was met with an outpouring of support from followers, with one writing: 'Congratulations, you're going to be a great mum!' Others echoed the sentiment, with comments such as 'I'm so happy for you!!' and 'Congratulations sweetie.'
Virgin Island, which follows a group of adult virgins on a tropical island as they work with therapists and sex surrogates to overcome intimacy challenges, has proven a hit with younger audiences. The six-part series became Channel 4's most successful new unscripted debut among the 16 to 34 demographic.
Television executive Jonah Weston said of the show's success: 'It's been such a thrill to watch this show catch fire. This is a live issue among young people, and from the brave cast to our wonderful experts I don't think I've ever worked on anything quite so bold, warm and well-intentioned.'
The second season of Virgin Island began airing on Monday, 27 April, with new episodes released every Monday and Tuesday on Channel 4.
