Five months after winningMasterChef Australia, Emelia Jackson has announced she's expecting her first child.

The 31-year-old shared the exciting news on Instagram, alongside a photo of her growing baby bump.

"Excuse the toilet in the background but this baby is popping today... Sous chef coming in June," she captioned the post.

And of course, her fellow MasterChef castmates were quick to congratulate her on the news.

"Omg Milsy! Biggest congrats on the choux bun in the oven," wrote Poh Ling Yeow.

"So bloody exciting! Bubba Mills," commented Brendan Pang.

Emelia is currently in a relationship with her partner Craig Gersbach, who's she's been dating for the past three years. However, the pair have kept their relationship relatively private, with Emelia only sharing a few photos of them together on Instagram.

Earlier this year, Emelia toldMamamia that Craig supported her during theMasterChefcompetition by giving her daily pep talks over the phone.

"This is going to sound funny, but he'd started watching the Michael Jordan documentary,The Last Dance. And every day, he'd call me in the morning and give me these pep talks. It was like I was going into battle," she laughed.

"It's just amazing how positive thinking really works. I never thought it worked before, but my whole thought process changed. I [used to] go into every challenge thinking, 'Don't do the worst today,' and that became, 'Win this challenge. Do the best.'"

It seems the positive thinking paid off because Emelia went on to win the competition, beating out her long-time friend Laura Sharrad.

"It was really bittersweet," Emelia toldMamamiaof her win. "There was a range of emotions to navigate. I was so excited and just felt over the moon to have won, as you would expect. But then that was matched with instant heartbreak for Loz, because the competition meant so much to her. She put her heart and soul into it."

The friends first met when they were kids in primary school.

"Emelia's mum taught me at primary school," Laura told TV Week earlier this year.

"I'm five years younger than Mils, but my first memory of her is in the school playground."

The pair also agreed they wouldn't let the competition ruin their friendship.

"I think it's so important to have a friend like Laura in the competition," Emelia told the publicati
