PREGNANT Towie star Shelby Tribble shared new photos of her baby bump as she counts down to giving birth – and her due date is just days away.
She also revealed her shock over the size of her bump this time around.
The star is expecting her second child with partner Sam Mucklow almost five years after their son was born.
She compared her current bump to an old photo from her first pregnancy, posting a snap on her due date taken in 2020.
The mum wrote over the pictures: “Abel bump, 7th Nov 2020 was Abel's due date. But he was born on the 15th.
“My bump with Abel felt big but looks tiny compared to the new baby who is due on the 17th.”
Shelby also teased fans over her unborn baby's gender in a sweet video, holding up two baby hats embroidered with “brother” and “sister” as she posed in a maternity bra.
She captioned the post: “Blue or Pink what do you think? We know what baby number two is but what are your thoughts...”
Fans rushed to the comments to share their answers, with one writing: “Im thinking twins, bit of both ... if so congrats in advance hun!”
Another said: “Both hats could be a teaser to twins!”
Another fan said: “Your belly is so beautiful. I miss mine! You look gorgeous shelby xxxx”
Shelby and Sam first shared their happynewsalongside a picture of their baby scan in October.
They penned: “Baby Number 2 coming soon!”
Their famous friends and family were quick to comment on the news.
Sam’s sister – the newly single Billi Mucklow – remarked: “So excited to be an auntie again! Love you all.”;
Lauren Goodger commented: “Congratulations guys.”;
While Chloe Meadows added: “Love you, so excited.”;
The pair welcomed their first child, a son called Abel, into the world in 2020 but split in 2023.
They delighted fans when they quietly reunited earlier this year.
Both Shelby and Sam joined the show in 2018, and started dating in October of that same year – just one month after he'd split from former flame and co-star Nicole Bass – and their rocky romance was heavily documented on the programme.
However, they both quit partway through the series the following year, with Sam returning home from Marbella early and refusing to film any more scenes.
He explained that he and Shelby had decided to leave the show due to the “pressure and anxiety” it put on their “fairytale” relationship.
Since leave the show, Shelby has returned to a ‘normal job' and is now a beauty clinician.
