The 36-year-old dancer - who is best known for appearing on 'Dancing with the Stars' - has announced that she's expecting her second child with Maks Chmerkovskiy.

Peta - who has suffered three miscarriages and has also been open about her fertility struggles on social media - shared: "All natural, it happened. I didn't even know I was pregnant for so long until I was really feeling sick.

"I danced through 'Dancing with the Stars' with it. I started feeling weird, started feeling a little bit sick and a little bloated and I didn't want to test for weeks."

Peta took a pregnancy test at around the "six or seven-week" mark of conceiving and she was shocked by the result.

She told PEOPLE: "I think it was the fastest positive I've ever seen in my life.

"It just came up super quick and I was just shocked. It's been completely different from my past pregnancy. It wasn't like I jumped for joy and I shouted from the rooftops, 'Oh my God, I'm pregnant. Yay!' It was more like a, 'Okay, well let's see what happens because I've been through this four other times, and it hasn't worked.' So I was very sceptical. I didn't even tell Maks for a while."

Peta already knows the sex of her baby, but she isn't sure when she'll announce it.

The TV star - who has Shai, five, with Maks - said: "I can't wait. I need to know those things."

Peta also opened up about her pregnancy cravings, revealing she's currently obsessed with savory snacks.

She added: "I don't feel like ice cream. I don't feel like cookies right now. I mean, that could all change. I just want bread and pasta and rice and all the good stuff."
