Kate Ferdinand looked stunning in latest snaps shared from her sunshine family holiday as she showed off her growing baby bump. Kate, 31, is on a getaway with her former Manchester United player husband Rio, their two-year-old son Cree and her step-children Tate, 14, and Tia, 12.

Kate, who is expecting a baby girl, posed for one photo in an elegant black cut-out detail dress as she cradled her bump. The former The Only Way Is Essex star smiled in her figure-hugging black dress on holiday, and jokingly explained there was more to the picture which she shared with her 1.4million Instagram followers.

"Don't be fooled by the heels," she said about her towering white footwear. "They stayed on for around 10 mins," she admitted with a crying-laughing emoji.

Kate added: "I was so excited that it was a girl, I hadn't swallowed the bit of cake, but then Cree's started screaming so I went over to see him and then the cake got stuck in my throat. Not one family member cared. I was actually full-blown choking.

"Someone was having to hit me over the back - I had no drink. And you were all drinking tropical fruit from the fridge like minding your own business. I'm full-blown choking for at least two minutes - like fully choking and no-one cared."
