Glowing Ferne McCann shows off baby bump as she enjoys a dip during sunkissed Turkey holiday

Ferne McCann oozed confidence as she showed off her growing baby bump whilst taking a dip on her holiday in Turkey.

The reality TV star announced she was expecting with fiancé Lorri Haines, both 32, in March.

Although she has yet to reveal her due date, it doesn't seem like they have too long to wait as fans wonder if she has dropped gender hints.

The Only Way is Essex favourite, already a parent to Sunday, five, from a previous relationship, has been sharing updates throughout the pregnancy so far.

After taking a sunshine break to Morocco in April, he jetted off again as she prepares to welcome the new arrival in the months ahead.

Wearing a stylish purple bikini, she enjoyed a well-earned swim as she cooled off as temperatures approached 30C.

She says she hopes to give birth on television - more specifically, her own ITV2 series First Time Mum, which is about to enter its 11th outing.

"I really want my birth on the show. I want to have that moment," she revealed to OK! Magazine.

“I just have such a vision of the type of birth that I want, and I think that would be so empowering to share that on this series."

Ferne announced she is expecting a baby with businessman Lorri six months after he popped the question.

The couple got engaged last summer with Ferne saying they bonded over their previous trauma.

Speaking to pal Vicky Pattison on her The Secret To podcast, she said: "He's got a child. I've got a child. We bonded over our trauma.

"Like we literally like laid everything on the table. I was like, here's all my s***. And he had the same and yeah, it's worked out."

So could have some way to go to convince her man giving birth on TV is the way to go.

She said: "I so desperately want it (the birth) to be on the show. But we were sort of warming him up.

"I've got this birth plan in my head, and I want a home birth and I want it to be positive. And I want everyone to see me like, pull the baby out.

"I've just got this vision and he's just like, 'No, that's just weird', but I'm like, 'It's beautiful and it's amazing!'

"Reality stars get a bit of a bad name, but I saw that Ronaldo and his Mrs were doing a reality show. Everyone's doing it, so just go for it!"

Ferne said she feels 'incredibly blessed and grateful' as her friends threw her a beautiful baby shower at a rooftop restaurant in London last week.

She shared a sweet glimpse into the games that the group played, as well as some delicious looking food.

The star captioned the stunning snaps on Instagram : “A day full of love celebrating baby no.2.” She continued:

“Feeling incredibly blessed & grateful for my baby shower lunch thrown by my gorgeous friends. I’ve never wanted a full-blown baby shower so this was absolutely perfect. Here we go to doing it all over again.”

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the glowing mum also revealed that she didn’t have a baby shower when she was pregnant with her first child as she said: “There were games & I loved it because I never had a baby shower when I was pregnant with Sunday…”
