Jessica Ennis-Hill is one of Britain's favourite athletes, so it's no wonder everyone was so excited to see her growing baby bump!

The gold medallist happily posed next to a supersized image of herself at the London 2012 Olympic Games, which is emblazoned across the wall at a gym in her hometown of Sheffield.

Visiting the English Institute of Sport Sheffield, pregnant Jessica - who has just two months until her due date - joked: "my abs look a little different".

Jessica Ennis-Hill, who is expecting her first child with husband Andy in July, later posted: "thanks for all the lovely messages" after fans responded to the sweet photograph.

While Jessica and childhood sweetheart Andy Hill - who tied the knot last year - weren't planning a baby, Jessica revealed in an official statement that they were over-the-moon at their happy news.

"I have some very unexpected but exciting news to share – Andy and I are expecting a baby.

"We are completely overwhelmed, with excitement and a degree of anxiety that I am sure all first time parents will relate to. My plans for 2014 have been completely turned upside down.

"But having had a couple of weeks to think about things from a career point of view I am 100 per cent set on returning to full-time athletics once our baby is born and go for a second gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 – that challenge really excites me.

"In the short term I will make our baby a priority and enjoy the whole experience as much as possible.

"I am sorry I wont be in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games, but know it will be an amazing occasion. I will be at home awaiting the arrival of a little Ennis-Hill."

We can't wait to meet little Ennis-Hill either - not long to go!
