Holly Hogan showcased her growing baby bump as she revealed she is now halfway through her pregnancy on Tuesday.
The former Geordie Shore star, 33, who is already mum to son Alpha-Jax, two, with husband Jacob Blyth, cradled her tummy in a heartwarming Instagram clip.
In the video, she said: ‘OK so I actually think I am getting a bit of a bump now. Halfway there with baby girl. I’m still in shock that it’s a baby girl.’
The reality star was dressed casually in a cream crop top and a black pair of leggings as she posed in her living room.
Holly revealed she was expecting a baby girl in an emotional gender reveal video in December.
Despite her ongoing grief over her sister Darci’s death, the reality star and her family have found moments of happiness thanks to the pregnancy.

In a video posted to Instagram, Holly captured the moment the couple discovered they were having a girl.
Jacob held a confetti cannon while Holly cradled their son Alpha-Jax next to a Christmas tree.
Both parents had expressed hope for a daughter, with Holly admitting she had been getting ‘girl vibes.’
They then asked their son what he wanted, and the little tot replied he’d like a sister.
Their wish came true when Jacob fired the cannon, with pink confetti exploding into the air.
It comes after the death of Holly’s 19-year-old sister Darci from a drug overdose.
Her passing was announced by Holly in October and police later confirmed that she had fallen ‘seriously ill’.
Holly said at the time that her family had been ‘traumatized in every sense of the word’ as they struggled to come to terms with their loss.

Two days after Darci’s funeral, Holly posted a video on TikTok, admitting in the caption: ‘I wasn’t sure whether to share or not as honestly this is such a vulnerable time and I’m not really someone who sits and cries to the camera usually but this is the reality of where I’m at right now.’
In the video Holly said: ‘It is and has been the toughest four weeks of our entire life.
‘I actually just don’t really know how to process this whole situation, and neither do my parents. I don’t think anybody realises how much this affects everybody in their lives.
‘The amount of people that’s been affected by this is just absolutely mindblowing. Like, my world has stopped. Her parent’s world has stopped. We feel, like, stuck and then the world keeps spinning.’
Holly broke down as she admitted: ‘I probably shouldn’t have tried to do this video just before I was going to go out.
‘Usually in the day I can take my mind off it and do other things, it does mean I can be in a different mode other than just sitting and letting myself think about it.
It comes just two months after Holly (R) revealed the tragic death of her little sister Darci (L) who sadly died from an accidental drug overdose at just 19

‘But usually on a night that’s obviously when it’s really hard, really, really hard for everyone.’
She then explained that she didn’t know ‘how to come back’ to her social media accounts following the tragedy and was hoping she would be able to return to her work and ‘not speak about it’.
‘But right now I feel like I’m weighted by lead,’ she admitted. ‘It feels like I’m just so heavy, everything is feeling like it’s ten times harder to do.’
‘I don’t want to make this some sort of grief account, I don’t want to make every video depressing and talking about it because I don’t feel ready to speak about everything yet, but one day I will.
‘Right now it’s just so fresh. You just never think that this is going to happen. Sorry guys, I did think I’d be able to hold it together, but clearly not.
‘This whole situation has felt incredibly surreal, I’ve felt like I’m in a film as these things only happen in films or in soaps and are over-dramatised but to have to live through it, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.’
