Chantelle Houghton declared "I'm not pregnant" after she piled on two stone of happy weight.
The Celebrity Big Brother star's hair dresser must have been mortified when she revealed she wasn't pregnant following a big congratulations.
But the reality star, 36, shrugged off the comments as she put her weight gain down to being in a happy relationship.
Her weight has crept up to 13 stone in recent months meaning the bombshell wears a size 14 or 16 and a 18 in her blouses.
Also, Chantelle pinpointed her stomach was a "problem area" when she piled on the pounds.
She told Closer magazine: “Last week I went to the hairdressers and the receptionist looked at me and said, ‘Oh Chantelle, congratulations!’ I giggled and said, ‘Don’t be embarrassed, but I’ve just put on a lot of weight!’
"My tummy has always been my problem area; people have been coming up to me for years and asking, ‘When is it due?’ I’ve got used to it now.”
Before her fiancé Michael Strutt, Chantelle kept to a strict plant-based diet.
But since her romance has flourished, the diet plan has gone out the window.
Chantelle confessed she's less bothered about what she's eating because she is happy.
She added: “When you’re in a happy relationship too, you don’t worry about what you’re eating and you do gain weight.”
During her time in the limelight, Chantelle has yo-yo dieted.
At her smallest she was a size eight and she had been a size 16 at her heaviest.
Her rise to fame saw her compete in Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.
