Kelly had previously told how she planned to work for as long as she could before giving birth.
Kelly has shared a few snaps of her baby bump on her social media throughout her pregnancy while she has been busy working.
She keeps her relationship with her fiancé Max very private and doesn’t share pictures of him online.
Kelly confirmed that she and Max were expecting their first child together in an interview back in August.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, she revealed that she was already nearing her third trimester as she shared her excitement for her new arrival.
She said: ‘I’m excited that my baby is going to be born in a generation with the Lionesses as role models. I just hope this momentum continues.’
Kelly’s road to motherhood has not been an easy one due to her fertility struggles and she was convinced it wouldn’t happen for her.
She said: ‘I never, ever thought I would get to be a mum. I’ve grown up thinking it wouldn’t be possible. I’ve had so many problems. so I just feel incredibly fortunate.

‘At my age, everyone knows someone who’s going through fertility problems or who has a bad story, and I always thought I was going to be one of those stories.’
The host revealed she was diagnosed with endometriosis and in 2019, she enlisted a private doctor, who told her she had polycystic ovaries.
She cut out alcohol and ‘bad foods’ and had regular scans to monitor her cycle.
During a scan, doctors told her they had noticed a thickening of the uterus and she tested on day six and discovered she was expecting.
Kelly has never shared a picture of Max, 34, and has said she is wary of social media, but she has said the pair live together in north London.
After graduating from Loughborough University, Kelly got a place at Nottingham Trent to study broadcast journalism.

But just months before she was due to start the course, she got an incredible job offer.
Bournemouth hired her as their media assistant when she was aged just 21, after she did volunteer work with Peterborough United and Doncaster Rovers.
When they were in Premier League, she interviewed the players for the club’s online video channel and went on to present on the pitch on matchdays.
She has now built up an incredible career and has worked for Premier League Productions, BBC’s Final Score, talkSPORT, West Ham United and the Women’s Football League Show.
