How Love Island's Shaughna hid pregnancy before sharing news after NTA collapse

Love Island star Shaughna Phillips recently shocked friends and fans after announcing her pregnancy on social media.

The TV personality took to Instagram to share a black-and-white video made up of a selection of moments from her pregnancy journey.

Fans were gobsmacked by the baby news as they congratulated her in the comment section, alongside her celebrity pals.

For several months, the reality star managed to keep her pregnancy a secret from the world and it was all down to a series of clever outfits.

She has made many public appearances as recently as the National Television Awards last week, but still fans were not the wiser.

Back in September, Shaughna attended a PrettyLittleThing charity event with pals Demi Jones and Indiyah Polack.

It was the same night she revealed the pregnancy news to Demi, with the moment being included in her announcement video.

Shaughna donned a brown figure-hugging Bardot-style dress that stopped at her ankles.

The style of the dress had all attention on the off-the-shoulder fit and the smooth material kept her look low-key.

When it came to Instagram, the star wore a lot of baggy clothing, including button-up shirts worn over tank tops as well as oversized coats.

In some instances, she would use a scarf or handbag to cover her growing baby bump.

Her latest public appearance was at the National Television Awards last week, where she concerned fans by suddenly collapsing.

Shaughna explained at the time she'd had a 'dodgy turn' as her manager assisted her out of the venue.

Taking to Instagram, she assured fans she wasn't drunk but isn't sure what happened.

"If anyone saw my 'exit' from the NTAs. I wasn't drunk, I nearly fainted," Shaughna told fans.

"I don't know what happened to me I just had this absolute dodgy turn and had to take my shoes off and be helped out by my manager and now I'm in bed."

She added: "Just in case anyone did see and thought 'f***ing hell she's seen better days' - correct - but I weren't drunk."

The star rocked a white lace jumpsuit that hugged in at her waistline, creating an hourglass silhouette.

Thanks to the patterns on her outfit, it was impossible to tell if she had a bump.

In many photos, the star used her tiny handbag to cover her stomach as she posed for the cameras on the red carpet.
