Meanwhile, she added a touch of elegance to her grid as she posted a sweet picture posing in a gorgeous maxi dress during a festive dinner in Windsor.
It comes after Rhian has revealed that she has been having a private weekly scan because it ‘still doesn’t feel real’ that she is 18 weeks pregnant.
Appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Steph’s Packed Lunch, Rhian appeared in the studio, while Oliver joined from home, to talk to Steph McGovern about their long battle trying for a baby.
Rhian said: ‘I don’t know how I feel to be honest, it still doesn’t feel real. After believing it weren’t going to happen for so long and then it’s happened. I’m just very overwhelmed with it at the moment.
‘I’ve been having scans every week because there is a local clinic so I keep popping down to check if everything’s still okay and it’s still there.
‘We always knew it [having children] was on the cards and you kind of just expect to get pregnant. You get married and then you start trying for kids and then it just happens.
‘All the years before you spend trying not to get pregnant and then when it comes to it, it just doesn’t happen. So we went for the tests. Oliver was told he had donor worthy sperm and it was me who had the problem, I was in Perimenopause.
‘I had no idea because my periods were regular so I had no idea something could be so wrong.’

The couple, who are expecting their baby May 4, admitted there were times they feared they would never be able to get pregnant.
Rhian had difficulty getting pregnant due to her low egg count and perimenopausal hormone levels and were only given just a three percent chance of conceiving naturally.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star spoke about her ‘tough’ battle with her IVF treatment and detailed how she found the joyful news out, the day she was planning on giving up.
She added: ‘T he first round was NHS , it wasn’t very tailored to me. The first round was tough, as were the first four. After the first four, five sixth and seventh it was just kind of part of our life then. It just became second nature to get up, inject, take tablets.
‘It’s like PMS times 100, so poor Oliver had a lot to deal with. It’s a bit of a blur at the beginning because like I said now, I just feel used to it. Maybe I feel used to holding all the hormones in.
‘Number eight was my last one. You put everything on hold for it. It was like we were throwing money into the road. We’ve spent a fortune.
‘I was convinced it hadn’t worked and I just wanted a drink, so went and did a pregnancy test, not thinking it would be positive because I just wanted a glass of wine in the evening and then it came back positive.’
Oliver added: ‘There’s no denying that it’s been really hard for both of us. Rhian is kind of putting on a brave face I feel. The emotional trauma has been hard.

‘Physically there is no denying that I’ve had the easiest journey by far. I’ve been injecting her twice a day with hormones, blood thinners and she’s been taking steroids.
‘I felt awful because I felt like I was hurting her having to do this everyday and it just became routine. The emotionally side it i think we just became numb to it.’
Rhian and Oliver who married in 2018, announced they are expecting their first child together earlier this month.
Sharing the news to Hello! magazine, Rhian said: ‘ We’re over the moon, our lives are going to change so much, which is very exciting.’
The Coronation Street star added: ‘ I can’t wait for the baby to be born, I’ll pump my fist to the sky and shout, “‘I’m a dad!”
She announced her decision to start the in-vitro fertilisation process in 2019 after she was told by doctors that she has an egg count of someone at least 13 years older.
