Pregnant Olivia Bowen glows after a fake tan as she shows off her growing baby bump

Former Love Island star Olivia Bowen looked radiant as the mum-to-be glammed up with a fake tan.

The 28-year-old, who married fellow Love Island contestant Alex Bowen in 2018 after meeting in the Spanish villa, is pregnant with her first child but still had time for a glow up with a self-tan she was advertising.

The reality TV star, wearing a blue bikini, posted before and after photos of the tanning session where she used utan, which donates 75p from every purchase and bottle sold to charity Marie Curie, on Instagram to her 2.9 million followers.

Olivia wrote on the social media platform: "Always swear by a good tan to make me feel good.

"During pregnancy I’ve relied on little pick me ups like painting my nails or doing my tan to make me feel like me still & give me that extra confidence boost!

"The colour is so perfect & it’s non sticky & smells amazing."

One comment read: "Wow you look amazing. So happy for you both. I’ve watched you right through love island and so happy to see you glowing and growing congratulations."

Another said: "Your tattoo honestly looks like it was MADE for your bump!"

A third person wrote: "I’m pregnant and I’ve tried everything but for some reason it’s not staying on me, I dono if its the hormones! I look so pale I’m going to have to order this!"

Olivia and Alex finished second on the 2016 edition of the ITV2 hit dating programme and got engaged in the following year.

Their marriage in September 2018 made them the first Love Island couple to do so. They have built up a portfolio off the screen, with Olivia launching her clothing range called MissPap.

The couple announced they were having their first child together on New Year's Day with a post on Instagram.

Olivia shared a photo of three polaroid pictures - one of Alex kissing her stomach, a second of a 'Baby Bowen' babygrow along with ultrasounds and a third of the couple holding a small pair of socks, with the caption reading: "Happy New… Baby Bowen".

Last month, she gave a tour of the baby's nursery after work was fully completed.

The room has an animal theme with an elephant mural on the wall, an armchair with a tiger cushion and a footrest and an alphabet rug.

The wardrobe was full of clothes and towels for the baby's arrival, which is believed to be in June, as she prepares for motherhood.
