Laura Byrne was left reeling when she was pranked by her podcast co-host during a recent episode.
Brittany Hockley, who stars alongside the former Bachelor star on the Life Uncut show, is pregnant, and she announced the good news through a fake letter, which she claimed was from a listener.
'After spending my first few months listening to your voices every single day, I can't wait to spend the next six months growing and join the Life Uncut family as the newest tiny member,' Brittany read aloud.
'See you in 2027,' she added.
Brittany's husband, Swiss soccer player Benjamin Siegrist, then walked in, dousing Laura in confetti.
That was when the prank clicked for Laura, who wore a stunned expression as she gasped: 'Wait, what?'

'We've had a newest Lifer listening for a few months now. That's why my boobs are so big!' Brittany said.
'Oh my God, honey,' Laura said, before her eyes filled with tears.
'It's been the hardest secret,' Brittany admitted as she rushed to embrace her emotional friend and co-star.
'I am so happy for you guys,' Laura cooed, while also giving Benjamin a loving squeeze.
'Yeah, it's been a long time coming,' Brittany replied.
Brittany announced on Tuesday that she is expecting her first child with her husband of one year.
The former reality star and the footballer announced the happy news in an Instagram post.

'Can't believe we are saying this, but it's time for the next chapter… Baby squid is on its way!' the caption alongside the sweet clip reads.
It comes after Brittany was forced to discuss her fertility struggles in the face of criticism over remaining childfree after her marriage.
Brittany had been sharing her luxurious lifestyle on social media, while travelling the world to exotic locations with her new husband.
'I'm 38. Married. Travel the world. No kids,' reads one reel shared on Instagram, that shows the genetically-blessed couple visiting Europe and various far-flung destinations.
That led to questions, and criticism, which Brittany addressed in a heartfelt social media post in July.
'Every day I get asked why I don't have kids, or if I am having them. That I am missing out. To that I say, I can't fall pregnant,' she wrote.

Brittany continued in her caption: 'It's not for lack of trying, trust me. No harm is ever meant when people ask, I know that. And my answer might sound blunt.
'But we haven't been able to fall pregnant. This is just the truth of it.
'And anyone that struggles with infertility knows, it consumes your life and your thoughts. Because I also wonder when and if we will have kids. It truly is exhausting.
'So anyone going through it, I get it. I get you. I feel you. There's a lot of us!'
The television personality tied the knot with soccer player Benjamin in a lavish Balinese ceremony in June 2025.
Brittany recently announced that she was relocating to Italy to live with Benjamin.
