PREGNANT Vogue Williams has revealed her baby is on the way.

The 34-year-old said: “Can you tell I’m excited, could actually happen any day now!”

The presenter and radio DJ, currently based in London, is expecting her second child with husband Spencer Matthews.

And despite having her hands already full with son Theodore, who is almost two, Dubliner Vogue revealed she won’t be taking any maternity leave from her Sunday breakfast show on Heart Radio.

In the meantime, she is enjoying dressing her growing bump, stepping out in style on her way to work.

The star looked the picture of health in a flowing knee-length yellow dress this weekend.

The Howth native was radiant in the patterned v-neck outfit, which was adorned with a floral print.

A HUGE haul of cars, cash, and designer goods were seized in raids against organised crime yesterday.

Officers from the Criminal Assets Bureau recovered €110,000 and £14,000 in cash and vehicles including a Mercedes, Skoda Kodiaq, Isuzu DMAX, Ford Ranger and Toyota Landcruise­r.

High-end watches with brands including Rolex and a Tag Heuer were also seized along with designer handbags and footwear.

Three caravans, assorted light commercial vehicles and power washers were recovered.

Focused on Co Longford, 16 searches were carried out. Bank accounts containing more than €80,000 were also frozen as part of the investigat­ion.

The searches were part of an investigat­ion targeting an organised crime group suspected of being involved in the sale and supply of drugs, intimidati­on and extortion.

A Garda spokesman said yesterday: “The OGC targeted in today’s search operation is heavily involved in the ongoing feud in the Longford area and a number of members have been before the Courts in relation to incidents emanating from this feud.

“They have amassed a large property portfolio as a result of the proceeds of their involvemen­t in criminal activity.

“Today’s search operation comes as a result of ongoing liaison between the CAB and gardai in Longford utilising trained Divisional Asset Profilers and marks a significan­t developmen­t in the
