Lucy Mecklenburgh showed fans her growing baby bump ahead of enjoying a rare mid-week girls' night out.
The 30-year-old former Towie star is expecting her second child with fiance Ryan Thomas and has been keeping folllowers updated on her pregnancy journey.
The couple are already parents to son Roman, 19 months, and are thrilled to be adding to their family.
Taking to Instagram the expectant mum shared a mirror selfie of her looking sensational with her arm gently cradling across her growing belly.
She revealed last month that they are expecting their second child together, saying: "Here we go again."
Lucy shared the side-on profile shot rocking a dog-tooth jacket with wide-legged trousers and black heels.
She added the glam with some gold hoop earrings and styled her hair in a sweeping side parting.
She captioned the post referring to her mid-week outing: "Me and bump went out on a school night." Adding a shush emoji to the post.
She was headed to posh Essex eatery Array and offered fans a snap shot of her delicious meal including a ''food envy'' dessert.
But despite her evening out she was back with her young boy and shared a good morning shot for followers as the pair snuggled up in bed with a faux fur blanket wearing adorable animal themed pyjamas.
The cute pair will be feeling the chill two weeks after returning from a sun-fuelled getaway in the luxury Dubai resort.
Lucy and actor Ryan, 37, have been staying at the St Regis Hotel on Saadiyat Island.
She posted a tray of massive pastry treats telling fans: "My pregnancy cravings are very happy right now."
The family also visited the Emirates Park zoo, where Roman got to feed a giraffe.
They also enjoyed a trip on a stunning yacht, while Lucy cradled little Roman in her arms for the adorable photograph in front of Atlantis, The Palm.
The break was a welcome relief after back in September the parents faced “every parent’s worst nightmare” in September, when Lucy found Roman turning blue in his cot.
He was rushed to Basildon Hospital near their Essex home before being transferred to London's St Mary’s Hospital and put on a ventilator.
Fortunately, after his viral-induced wheeze, Roman is doing well, but now uses an inhaler twice a day to help his breathing.
