Love Island Australia star Grant Crapp says he can’t wait to become a father as he and pregnant girlfriend Lucy Cartwright celebrate baby shower

He’s preparing to welcome his first child with girlfriend Lucy Cartwright in April.

And Love Island Australia’s Grant Crapp, 25, couldn’t contain his joy as he celebrated Lucy’s baby shower on Saturday.  

Posing to Instagram, the expectant father uploaded a heartwarming photo of himself cradling Lucy’s bump as they posed in front of a pink-and-white balloon arch and a metal sign that read ‘Baby Crapp’.

‘I have no patience… can’t wait to meet her [love heart emoji]. EXCITED,’ he wrote in the caption, adding the hashtag: #babycrapp  

The electrician looked sleek in a light pink blazer and checked trousers, while his girlfriend of over two years showcased her blossoming bump in a tight pink maxi dress.

Grant announced his baby joy in December, sharing a photo of the beaming pair on a beach, with heavily pregnant Lucy already sporting a blossoming bump.

They went Instagram official in October 2018, three months after Grant split with his Love Island co-star Tayla Damir, 24. 

Grant wrote in the picture’s caption: ‘Proud of ya [sic],’ alongside the crown and celebration emojis.  

The couple dated prior to Grant joining the cast of Love Island, and reunited after he split with Tayla.

However, Tayla dumped Grant after discovering he already had a ‘secret girlfriend’ living in Canberra.   

He faced criticism upon returning to Australia, when it was revealed he had lied to producers about his relationship status.

It turned out he had been in a relationship with Lucy right up until leaving for Spain, and the pair resumed dating once he’d split from Tayla.

In August 2018, Grant revealed that starring on Love Island made him realise how much he appreciated Lucy.

He told NW magazine at the time: ‘Obviously I was going into the villa with an open heart and looking for love. 

‘But then, I’ve come out, me and Tayla are finished and I’m back with Lucy.’
