Love Island's Jessica Shears showcases blossoming baby bump as she poses in underwear

Love Island's Jess Shears has proudly showcased her blossoming baby bump for excited fans.

The 25-year-old model – who is married to co-star Dom Lever, 28 – told Instagram followers that she was "feeling [herself] even with the belly" as she posted an underwear clad snap.

Smoldering at the camera with a cup of tea in her hand, Jess's brunette tresses tumbled down her chest and grazed her blue lace bra.

She opted for a minimal makeup look, showing off her natural beauty with just a sweep of mascara and a nude lipstick on her plump pout.

As she shared the image of her changing figure with fans, they rushed to tell her that they were "feeling it" too.

"You're glowing," one wrote, while another added: "Lookin so good mama".

"I want to look this hot whilst preggers," a third commented, tagging their friend.

Jess is now five months pregnant, and she and Dom made their baby news public earlier this month.

Recalling the moment they discovered they were to become parents, Jess told New! magazine: "We found out at two weeks. We did ten tests just to make sure!"

But the couple, who met on the ITV dating show in 2017, said that they were initially reluctant to share the news after hearing their baby could be at risk of a rare blood condition.

Jess, 25, and Dom, 28, say they were told that their child could experience complications due to rare blood type - RH Negative - which called lead to rhesus disease, where the mothers blood cells attack the baby's cells causing anaemia and jaundice.

Explaining how she reacted to the news, mum-to-be Jess said: "I have found it a bit daunting. Even up until i started to feel a kick more regularly. I was like, 'Is everything OK?!"

Jess added: "We left it really late, past 12 weeks, before we told anyone, not even my parents. So in the space of three days we told everyone we're close to and they were over the moon. There's no scare factor for them."

The couple confirmed to fans they were expecting their first baby at the start of May with a picture of their sonogram along with a snap of Jess' baby bump.

It's the first baby for the pair, who got engaged just three months after their series of Love Island ended.
