Earlier this summer, BBC Radio 1 presenter, Strictly contestant and former Saturday's singer Mollie King announced she is expecting her first child with partner Stuart Broad.

The star took to Instagram to share the special news with her fans, posting a black and white picture of Stuart kissing her baby bump with the caption: "Stuart and I are so so happy to share that we’re expecting a baby later this year! We’re absolutely over the moon ❤️"

Since then, Mollie has given her Instagram following an insight into how she is styling her growing bump, sharing her go-to dresses and top fashion tips for expecting mums.
