Laura Whitmore has given fans a new glimpse of her baby bump.

The Love Island host and radio presenter, 35, who is due in “early 2021” posted an image of her burgeoning bump online.

She joked about being heavily pregnant on her Instagram page, writing under the photograph: “S*** got real.”

Irish star Whitmore, 35, announced on social media in December that she and her husband, comedian Iain Stirling, are expecting a baby in “early 2021”.

In an Instagram post featuring a babygrow bearing the logo of American band Guns N’ Roses and the song title Sweet Child O’ Mine, she wrote: “I’ve always tried to be protective over the personal side of my life. 

"A lot of things are just for me and my loved ones, and we’ve chosen not to share publicly.

“However I want to now share good news as it’s our news to share – and I’m gonna be honest it’s starting to look like my lockdown beer belly is out of control. Iain and I are expecting a baby early 2021. It’s been hard to keep such happy news quiet.

“Especially the times when I’ve had to run out of live radio to get sick in a bin or my penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning.

“I wasn’t hungover like everyone thought. In fact I was completely sober filming the entire series of Celeb Juice, which is quite the accolade!

“We’d appreciate our privacy respected but just wanted to spread some love and a reminder of the beauty of life.”

Her post followed reports the couple had recently wed. Whitmore seemingly confirmed the pair had wed by posting an image of them along with her dog Mick in their wedding outfits.

Whitmore and Stirling met at a TV awards ceremony in 2016 but did not get together until later.

Former MTV presenter Whitmore previously told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: “I think, like, nine months later we had a date, so it was a slow burner!

“We tried to keep it as quiet as possible at the start.

“I remember going to Majorca (where Stirling was working on Love Island) and not telling anyone, even though I know most of the crew. If anyone had seen me they’d be like ‘What the hell is Laura doing here?’”

The couple sparked speculation that they were engaged earlier this year.

Stirling has been narrator of Love Island since 2015 and is known for his witty observations on the dating show.
