Laura and Jason over . Posting a video on New Year’s Eve of their boys Albie, seven, and Monty, one, wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan, ‘I’m going to be a big brother to a baby,’ Laura: “2024 was wonderful, 2025 is going to be even more special.”

The announcement came just as Laura - who suffered a miscarriage in 2021 and an ectopic , when the egg implants outside the womb, in 2022 - revealed her fears that the elite sport could have damaged her fertility.

"Was my body just running on empty, and then it said, 'Well, hang on, there's no way we can do this?'" she said.

“Every training session, I went in there to give 100%, every race I went in there to give 100%. I took it to the limit - if I wasn’t sick after a race I’d be like, ‘Did I try hard enough?’”

Laura married Jason in 2016 after winning two gold medals in the velodrome at the London 2012 Olympics and two more at Rio 2016. The couple had their first son, Albie, in 2017, but she suffered a miscarriage in 2021 before giving birth to Monty in 2023.

Having won two more medals at the 2020 Olympics to take her tally to six, Laura became the most successful female cyclist in history, as well as the most successful British female athlete.

Speaking about her fertility and if her career was the blame, Laura said on Radio 4’s Today programme: “I had a miscarriage followed by an ectopic [pregnancy] while still training.

"I was training hard and I’ve trained hard for a really long time. Is there something that we’re doing to our bodies that is putting it under such extreme pressure that it can’t function to conceive a child?"

She added: “Conceiving Monty was just hell. I’m not going to sit here and say it was anything other than that because it was horrendous. Having a miscarriage and an ectopic so close together was so hard to deal with.

"You get one heartbreaking outcome, having the miscarriage, and to then have an ectopic was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through because all of a sudden it wasn’t about looking after Albie any more, it was, ‘Am I going to survive this?’”
