A woman has caused a stir online after revealing that she kept up her fake-tanning routine while she was pregnant - because she wanted to look bronzed despite having a child on the way.
Louise Cook took to TikTok to share her decision and revealed how she applied fake tan religiously all the way through her pregnancy.
She said in a video that people, including her partner, asked why she kept it up - and now she's shared the reason with her followers online.
Louise said that tanning was a 'lifestyle', and she'll no doubt be keeping it up now the baby has arrived.

Then she added: "Proud of me for keeping it up for 40 weeks without fail - may have been out of breath by the end!"
Her video soon had over 150,000 views and received a range of comments, some from mothers who praised her determination.
