Glowing with health and showing off her changing figure, this is Charlotte Church taking pregnancy in her stride.

The 21-year-old TV presenter, who is four months pregnant, is enjoying a no-expense-spared holiday in Thailand with a gaggle of female friends - including the sister of her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson.

She is understood to have spent £100,000 on the break at the exclusive Rayavadee resort and has told friends it is a "hen week holiday", providing the strongest hint yet that she plans to marry Henson before their child is born.

A source close to the singer said: "Charlotte told everyone that this was her last big holiday before the wedding and, of course, before the baby's due.

"It may not be Brighton or Blackpool, but this is still very much a hen do."

Unlike previous holidays, this trip has been notable for Charlotte's abstemious behaviour. Since arriving last week, the former smoker has not touched a cigarette and is also taking care not to stay in the sun too long.

And there's another big change from her hellraising days.

"Charlotte hasn't touched a drop of booze all holiday - she's been on fruity, non-alcoholic cocktails and bottled water only," the source said.

Instead of partying, Miss Church has thrown herself into more cultural pursuits. She even found time to visit a local fertility shrine where couples make offerings in return for the promise of healthy children.
