The posts were inundated with messages of congrats for the pair, with people wishing them the best of luck with the pregnancy. However, many questioned whether they were telling the truth. Those doubts were reinforced this morning when all trace of the tweets and posts from Katie were apparently deleted. We’ll have to wait for further updates on this one.
