Pregnant Gigi Hadid shares very specific craving two weeks ahead of due date

Gigi Hadid has lifted the lid on her pregnancy cravings two weeks ahead of her due date.

The 25-year-old model - real name Jelena Noura Hadid - is expecting her first child with former One Direction singer and heartthrob, Zayn Malik.

She marked her 33-week point in July, meaning she's due around mid-September.

And now she's shared one peculiar food that pregnancy's got her craving: cake icing.

Gigi laughed on Twitter that she's been ordering from Sprinkles Bakery in America, getting them delivered across the country to her front door.

She tweeted: "Pregnancy is real when u order nationally shipped @sprinkles to be delivered to yourself."

Later she added: " @sprinkles do I have to defrost the whole box right when I get it or can I defrost them one by one to make them last longer ?"

It's not the first time she's given fans a look at her pregnancy diet, sharing her love for cinnamon pastries, veggie sushi rolls, and fruit picked from her own garden.

She also chowed down on crispy chicken with Italian Caprese salad with a balsamic dressing.

In recent weeks the star has been relatively quiet on social media, explaining to fans the strange experience of being pregnant amid a pandemic.

"Everything going is great and I love you guys," Gigi wrote, "I do appreciate those positive comments.

"A lot of people are confused by why I am not sharing more but I am pregnant through a pandemic.

"Obviously my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world.

"That's the reason I've felt it's not something I need to share, apart from with my family and friends."

She added: "Obviously a lot of people have lost lives due to coronavirus – that was in the beginning of quarantine and it's still happening.

"And then we moved into the re-emergence of the [Black Lives Matter] movement and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that."

Gigi's pregnancy was confirmed in a sweet statement in April from Gigi's mum Yolanda.

"Still shocked our little secret got leaked to the press," she told, "Of course we are so excited. I'm excited to become a oma [grandmother] in September especially after I lost my mom so recently.

"But this is the beauty of life, one soul leaves us and a new one comes in. We feel very blessed."
