Having Damien Hirst as her boyfriend seems to be awfully hard work for Sophie Cannell.
The former ballerina, 30, has been performing dances around the stripper pole he had installed at his £36 million home in Regent’s Park, London, even though she’s heavily pregnant.
Sophie shared this photograph online of her leaning on the pole in an outfit that displayed her breasts and baby bump. ‘Blue for a boy,’ she comments, referring to the sex of the child she’s expecting.
Hirst who is 28 years her senior, is said to be Britain’s richest artist, with an estimated fortune of £300 million. The new arrival will have to share his home with their French bulldogs, Pablo, Chapo and Blanco.
The artist, known for his shark pickled in a tank, has three adult children with former girlfriend Maia Norman.

Fearless rider Edie braves new injury
Edie Campbell is such a keen equestrian that she trained herself to win the Magnolia Cup at Glorious Goodwood in 2014.
And the top model is certainly willing to suffer for her sport.
The daughter of Old Etonian Roddy Campbell and architect Sophie Hicks had to undergo emergency plastic surgery last year after being kicked in the face and shoulder by a horse.
Now, I hear that Edie, 33, rode in the Burnham Market International horse trials at the weekend even though she had suffered an injury to her hand.
Edie competed on her horse Big Bruno in an event won by Olympic champion Laura Collett.
She says: ‘Big Bruno put a smile on everyone’s face, after a chaotic day of dislocated fingers and other nice things.’
Zara Tindall has been a handsomely paid ambassador for Land Rover for the past 18 years, so her arrival at the Burnham Market International horse trials in a Hyundai Tucson caused some surprise.
King Charles’s niece, 42, was driving the three-year-old Hyundai worth about £20,000. It was covered in mud and had at least one bird dropping on the roof.
The Range Rover SVR normally driven by Zara would cost about £100,000. A spokesman for Land Rover is keen to make clear: ‘Zara is an ambassador for Land Rover.’

Gregg’s holiday deal
Gregg Wallace has revealed he’s now starting to save himself a fortune after ditching expensive, action-packed holidays.
The MasterChef star, 59, who’s married to Anne-Marie Sterpini, 22 years his junior, explains: ‘I said to Mrs Wallace (I’m madly in love with my wife, because she likes to paint), ‘Would you be happy if we just rented an apartment somewhere in a Tuscan hill town and you painted all day?’

‘She went: ‘Absolutely.’ I went: ‘Would you be happy if I then just played strategy war games on my laptop and read history books?’ ‘
He adds that she may have just ‘revolutionised’ their holidays, which ‘are about to get cheaper and cheaper’.
He’s known for making edgy jokes about amputees, the Holocaust and tax avoidance, but Jimmy Carr is highly sensitive when it comes to his own image.
Indeed, the comedian, 51, says he’s developed a ‘low-level eating disorder’ because of watching himself on television.
‘I’m very conscious of my weight and my appearance,’ he says. ‘There’s something about being on screen all the time that you get very conscious and maybe it’s slightly a control thing.’
New York party girls let their heir down

They are pictured at Save Venice’s annual masquerade ball, in aid of preserving the artistic heritage of the Italian city, which took place at The Plaza Hotel.
