During her interview with the Channel 9 news program, she revealed that she discovered she was expecting a few days before she was due to fly to Mt Everest. 

She told Hoskin while he was brushing his teeth. “I just walked in and I left the pregnancy stick there,” she said.

Pitt has a huge following online after the charity worker suffered severe burns to more than 60 percent of her body in 2011 while competing in a Racing The Planet Ultramarathon in WA struck by wildfire. 

Congratulations to the happy couple!
