How Chloe Madeley kept her pregnancy secret for months with clever tricks

Chloe Madeley used clever tricks to hide her pregnancy bump before she shared her exciting news.

After keeping her blossoming tummy a secret, the 34 year-old personal trainer revealed her 12 week baby scan on social media.

Her Instagram grid had been carefully filled with throwback photos of her and Rugby player husband James Haskell before their announcement.

In one snap of the couple on holiday in Mykonos, Chloe sneakily hid her tummy behind James' arm to cover any small bump that may have been noticeable.

In a more recent video Chloe wore a baggy black hoodie as she plugged her fitness plan.

James shared the news that they were expecting their first child live on Good Morning Britain on February 15.

Soon-to-be grandpa Richard, 65, luckily already appeared to know as James told viewers he was preparing to be a dad.

Chloe shared a snap of her and mum Judy Finnigan holding a scan photo and a cute romper suit.

She added the caption: "I just want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to congratulate my family and I yesterday.

Your generosity and kindness was nothing short of jaw dropping, and all of us have felt extremely touched by the sheer amount of well wishes we’ve received. So, thank you. 16 weeks, each one better than the last."

James had previously said that he sees sex in the same way he sees a competitive sport.

Richard appeared to already know his daughter's baby news when James announced it on Good Morning Britain (ITV)

He told The Sun: I end up taking everything very seriously. But I mean you want to be good at sex don’t you? I'm not sure I'm very good at it, but I'm having a good go at trying to be better.

"There's a lot of people out there having a lot of bad sex. I want to improve on it."

The former Rugby star wrote in his new book Ruck Me: “If you're lucky enough to see some progress in your performance and get some good reviews, why would you not carry on improving?”

He continued: “We have a very open relationship but we are very different as people. My wife is incredibly emotional, incredibly compassionate. She thinks about things a lot, whereas I'm very much in the moment.”

The Wasps star gushed over his wife Chloe, who he married in 2018: "“Chloe is amazing to me," he said. "I'm a much, much, much better person for being with her. She protects me from myself.

"She understands things and sees stuff in a different way and I think that's important because of all of our own personal experiences with the media and having the family that she has.

"Chloe's brilliant and intelligent, much more than I am.”
