DANI Harmer has revealed she's due to welcome her child in the next "couple of weeks" as she shared her gestational diabetes diagnosis.

The actress – who shot to fame as a child as Tracy Beaker – is pregnant with her second child at the moment with partner Simon Brough.

Dani already has a four-year-old daughter Avarie-Belle Betsy Brough, to who she gave birth in 2016.

Yesterday, the TV star took to her Instagram Story to share her diagnosis and also revealed that their little one is set to arrive soon as she reaches her due date.

Dani shared the devastating news on Instagram, posting a paragraph to her stories to reveal the news.

Captioning a snap of a daily blood glucose log book, the star wrote: "Not quite how I wanted to end this pregnancy but super glad we found out when we did!

"Newly diagnosed gestational diabetes so any tips are welcome!"

The expectant mum continued: "Sending love to those who've had it throughout their pregnancy".

"So give them a follow if you've just been diagnose and looking for help
like I am!

"I'm lucky that I only have a couple of weeks left but can't thank you all enough for the support! You guys are awesome!"

The condition is described as "high blood sugar (glucose) that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth."
