She announced her engagement to new man Michael Strutt last month – and fans are speculating that Chantelle Houghton may also be expecting a baby.

The former CBB star, 36, was pictured shopping earlier this month wearing a baggy jumper and jeans, sparking rumours she may have a baby on the way, with fans writing “She looks pregnant!”, and “Is that a bump I see?”

Chantelle has admitted she’s gained weight during lockdown, but hasn’t commented on pregnancy rumours.

She said on Instagram, “I put on 2st in lockdown, because I am so happy and in love and also I’ve been eating three meals a day.”

She added that her boyfriend has her mum’s approval, revealing, “My mum has known Michael for a while and she knows he is a decent guy.”

Chantelle surprised her followers by announcing she was engaged in April, after previously keeping fiancé Michael off social media. The pair only started dating in January after being friends for nine years.

This won’t be Chantelle’s first child, as she shares a daughter with ex-boyfriend Alex Reid, while Michael reportedly has two children from a past relationship.
