The clever tricks Stacey Dooley used to hide her baby bump revealed

STACEY Dooley has shared the exciting news that she’s pregnant with her first child as she took to Instagram to show off her baby bump.

Stacey, 35, posted a photo of her blossoming baby bump on Instagram on Friday afternoon as she announced her pregnancy.

The star could be seen pulling her top up and cradling her belly with her hands, smiling wide in the Polaroid snap.

Stacey has kept her pregnancy secret until now, and there have been subtle ways the star kept it hidden.

Here, we take a look at what those were…

Surgery rumours

In Stacey’s pregnancy announcement she said it was “becoming impossible” to hide her pregnancy.

She signalled that fans had been asking her about whether she’d had a boob job.

The presenter said in her announcement: “If one more person asks me if I’ve had my t*ts done in LA I’m gonna scream. Here goes.”

Baggy clothes

In Stacey’s recent posts on social media, she’s hidden her bump by wearing baggy clothes.

In a snap taken three days ago, she disguised her bump using a large blazer, and one week ago the star posed in a long elegant dress.

She also opted for a floaty white number a week ago while posing on a staircase, disguising her exciting news.

Nesting at home

The star had been nesting at home and shared a photo from her elegant lounge a couple of months ago.

She thanked a company for flowers they’d bought her at the time, and said: “Thank you so much for my surprise gift! SO kind.

“(These guys r such goodies, have a great eye and never ever ask me to post.) Just a generous gesture. Thank you!”

Snaps from the waist up

As well as expertly disguising her bump with baggy outfits, Stacey also opted to post only from the waist up in other photos.

Three days ago the star posed with Louis Theroux and snapped a selfie from the waist up while holding up a peace sign.

In another recent summery snap, the beauty posed with sunglasses on and a tangerine coloured top as she leant on a table.

Stacey has also shared recent selfies with just her face and not her body in shot.

Her long-term boyfriend Kevin was the first to react in the comments section, gushing back to his girlfriend: “Love you.”

The pair’s celebrity pals – including Love Island’s Zara McDermott and fellow Strictly star Dianne Buswell – then rushed to the comments to congratulate them on their first child.

“Congratulations,” Dianne wrote alongside red heart emojis, while Strictly pro Amy Dowden added: “Yay the best news for two beautiful souls. So happy for you both.”

Dancer Graziano Di Prima added: “Whaaaat?! Omg so happy for you!” while former contestant Joe Sugg chimed in: “Amazing news, congrats to you both.”
