 The couple branded benefit slobs after appearing on the TV programme Too Fat To Work have announced they are expecting a baby.

Steve and Michelle Beer were dubbed Britain’s fattest scroungers after splashing out £3,000 of state handouts on their wedding.

The pair weighed 55st between them when they appeared on the Channel 5 documentary in January - and were so large they were unable to consummate their marriage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Expecting: Jobless Stephen and Michelle Beer, from Plymouth, are expecting their first baby together

But, after embarking on a six-month weight-loss programme, the pair lost 13st - and were able to make love for the first time.

Now the delighted couple have revealed that 43-year-old Michelle is pregnant - and to celebrate, the pair are planning to renew their wedding vows.

Mrs Beer, who has lost 5st 6lb and now weighs 17st 9lb, told Closer magazine: 'I recently discovered I am one-month pregnant and I’m thrilled. 

'It was a complete surprise. It is very early days but we are overjoyed.'

The mother-of-seven, from Plymouth, Devon, went on : 'We both have children from previous relationships, but can’t wait to have a child together.

'I don’t mind it if it a girl or boy. I’m just happy to be a mum again. Our weight made sex difficult and we went without it for a year, but, since we lost weight, things are back on track.'

Expensive: The pair hit the headlines after splashing out £3,000 of state handouts on their wedding

Mrs Beer, who is 4ft 11in tall, added: 'I am determined this pregnancy won’t ruin my dieting. I will still eat healthily and exercise.

'I hope to get down to 10st and a size 12 and Steve would like to be 13st. We both want to be healthy for our baby.'

The couple already have 13 children between them, six from Mr Beer's previous relationships and seven from his his wife's.

The formerly bone idle pair are hoping to turn their lives around and have ditched their £15-a-day kebab habit in favour of healthy home-cooked meals. 

On top of that, the couple moved into a mobile home in the country and joined a nearby military-style boot camp where they trained six days a week.

Slimming: The pair were initially too fat to consummate their marriage but have since managed to do so

They had previously been suffering obesity-related medical problems - including high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

But they are now off medication and have even begun looking for work.

Mrs Beer said: 'I am looking forward to a happy, healthy future with our new baby and proving we can change our lives for the better.'

Earlier this month 45-year-old Mr Beer, who at 5ft 5" now weighs 23st 9lb, said: 'When you’re so big, your love life goes out the window. You can’t even make love.

'But since we’ve lost weight we’ve done it for the first time in well over a year. I felt sorry for the caravan floor!

'We didn’t do it on the floor though, we were on the bed. But being happy isn’t all about sex.'
