Pregnant Lydia Bright confirms due date as boasts of 'greatest gift of all'

Former TOWIE star Lydia Bright took to Instagram to wish her fans a very Merry Christmas...and show off her baby bump.

The mum-to-be, 29, confirmed that she was expecting to give birth in around nine weeks time, and boasted that she could look forward to a Christmas surrounded by loved ones with one more on the way.

"Merry Christmas Eve everyone," she wrote, "This year has been one to remember.

"I know it's early but I hope you all have a Christmas full of love, surrounded by the people that matter the most.

"I have the greatest gift of all this year, my little Dinky.

"Today marks 9 weeks until I get to see your beautiful face and we get to share our life together, in our new home."

She recently moved back into her parents house ahead of the birth - she's no longer with the baby's father, Lee Cronin.

Fans rushed to the comments section with well wishes and Christmas cheer.

"Merry Christmas Eve to you and yours," another penned, "Can't wait to see your 'little Dinky'. You will be an awesome mom."

A third reckoned: "So beautiful. Hope u keep calling her Dinky after she is born, such a cute nickname."

Her BFF Lucy Mecklenburgh, also of TOWIE fame, is also pregnant at the moment - expecting her first child with boyfriend Ryan Thomas .

The blonde beauty recently shared a throwback of her and Lucy leaving a club all the way back in 2011.

"Well it is Throwback Thursday," she laughed, "Don't kill me @lucymeck1. This is what we used to do, party in the best clubs in London. How times have changed."

They also shared a "baby-moon" - a luxury trip away together (along with other girl friends) ahead of giving birth.

They even struck a pose in matching swimsuits as they showed off their equally sized baby bumps.
