Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon, 44, has revealed she’s expecting her first child with husband Peter Cho after a challenging journey with IVF and years of private struggles to conceive.

High-Profile Past Relationships
Before finding happiness with Peter, Liz’s love life was marked by public romances and heartbreak. Her first serious relationship was with childhood sweetheart Tommy Hibbs, a warehouse manager. They dated from age 14 and planned to marry in 2021, but their engagement ended due to the strain of her music career. “Our schedules made it impossible,” Liz admitted, though they remained friends.

She later dated Lee Ryan of Blue, with a tumultuous on-off relationship ending in 2003 amid infidelity rumors. Liz reflected, “Dating a celebrity led to paranoia. I’d never do it again.”

A brief romance with Kian Egan of Westlife fizzled out quickly, with Kian calling it a “bizarre” mistake. Liz then appeared on Celebrity Love Island (2005), sparking a short-lived fling with a crew member.
