Nikki, a laser-lipsuction therapist, revealed this week that she suffered an ectopic pregnancy back in 2013 which, along with multiple cancer scares since, has prevented her from being able to conceive with Alex.

The brunette has finally been given the all-clear from the doctor this week, having most recently found a lump on her breast last July.

She told The Sun Online: 'It's been one scare then another. I was terrified, I hate hospitals and postponed the operation until 3 days after Alex's cage fight. 

'The lump had doubled in size it was 3cms. Thank God it was benign.'

Nikki's quest for motherhood was then thwarted once again however, when she was examined for ovarian cancer as well - which could have threatened her ability to bear children at all. 

She continued: 'When my stomach suddenly bloated I was worried it was IBS or Crones disease but also knew these are symptoms of ovarian cancer. I was terrified.'

After the difficult few years in and out of the doctors surgery, the couple are now looking forward to finally getting married, and extending their family together. 

While Nikki has no children of her own, Alex has one daughter Dolly, four, with ex-partner Chantelle Houghton.

Alex became engaged to Chantelle Houghton in 2012, with Dolly born later that year.

A few weeks after Dolly's birth, Chantelle then took to Twitter to announce the ending of the relationship after Alex was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage at the couple's home.

Alex was also married to glamour model Katie Price in a Vegas wedding in 2010, but separated in January of the following year

At the time of their engagement two years ago, Alex took to Twitter to reflect on the fact that Nikki is the one and perhaps more brutally, disregard his previous escapades with Chantelle and Katie Price.

The former Hollyoaks star wrote on Twitter: 'Sitting on sofa with future Mrs Reid reminiscing all the pain misery and cheap c**p that's happened in my life, looking forward to a new start!'

'I've made some silly choices & take full responsibility for my own sadness & joy, but now have really good people around me who truly care.'

The pair recently hinting that they will be marrying in Wales, taking to Instagram to hashtag '#weddingvenue #ideas' outside a sprawling countryside castle. 

She's the one: Alex is clearly looking forward to starting a life with Nikki, writing on Twitter at the time of their engagement  'Sitting on sofa with future Mrs Reid reminiscing all the pain misery & cheap c**p that's happened in my life,looking forward to a new start!'
