‘It was the first time my ovulation window matched his home visit’ – Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips reveals she planned second pregnancy with jailed boyfriend Billy Webb after secret reunion while he serves nine-year cocaine sentence - suong

Shaughna Phillips has revealed how she planned her pregnancy with her jailed boyfriend Billy Webb after announcing she is expecting her second child. 

Taking to Instagram to reveal her pregnancy on Sunday, the Love Island star, 31, posted a video of herself taking a test before revealing her bump.

The Sun later revealed that Shaughna is once again preparing to welcome a child with Billy, who is also the father of her daughter Lucia.

Following the birth of Lucia in April 2023, Billy, 29, was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000. 

Due to being in a Category D prison, Billy has been allowed home visits for 'a few days' each month - and Shaughna has now revealed how she planned her pregnancy under the circumstances. 

Speaking to The Mirror on Thursday, Shaughna said she got pregnant the very first time her ovulation period had coincided with Billy being at home.

'It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided with Billy being home,' Shaughna said. 

'I was like, "You know what? Why not? Let's just see" - and literally, the next day, I said to Billy, "I think I'm pregnant".'

She went on to hint that Billy is set for early release and will be here for the birth.

She said: 'I know the date that he's due to be home, but I'm not saying it just because anything could happen - but hopefully he will be fully home before my baby is due.'

Shaughna and Billy have been enjoying family days out over the past seven months while he has been on day release from an open prison.

An insider said: 'Billy has been in a Category D prison, which means he has been able to spend a fair bit of time with Shaughna.

'He even managed to be home over Christmas, which meant a lot to her and, of course, Lucia. He hasn't been released as many people thought, but he has a lot of privileges.'

In Category D prisons inmates have minimal security and those deemed 'low risk' inmates are allowed to leave the site to work, 'resettle' or attend education during the day.

MailOnline contacted Shaughna's representatives for comment at the time. 

Announcing her pregnancy on Sunday, Shaughna posted a video of herself taking a pregnancy test and showed off her growing bump. 

She also shared a sweet video of her daughter Lucia, two, wearing a t-shirt saying 'Big Sis' and 'In my big sister era' to go with the announcement.  

Shaughna did not reveal who the father of her baby is as she wrote: 'Adding a little more love to our family…'

Shaughna revealed the couple had spent Christmas together in December after the family reunited to enjoy a Christmas grotto together. 

Sharing an adorable video to her Instagram, the reality star revealed that she and her partner had taken Lucia to see Santa and added she never thought this day would come. 

She captioned the clip: 'If you had told me this time last year, that me and Billy would be taking Lucia to see Santa next Christmas, I probably wouldn’t have let myself believe you

'The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special'.

The blonde bombshell has been very open with her fans throughout the ordeal and previously revealed on her podcast Oh, Baby with Shaughna and Holly that she had struggled to come to terms with the situation.

She said: 'It's the most gut-wrenching position to be in.

'And, I mean, before I even answer this question, I want to just put it out there that you can judge me all you want, but please don't let me know, because I feel like unless you've been in this position you can't really have an opinion on it.

'Because before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy.

'And then, lo and behold, I'm now in this position. And I think the thing is, we're always going to be co-parents.

'And I know that me and my dad had the best relationship ever, and to me, my dad is the best person in the world.

'And I don't want Lucia to think differently of her father. I would never, ever stop him from seeing her, ever.'
