All The ways Charlotte Crosby hid her pregnancy from baggy clothes and clever crops to covering bump with props
CHARLOTTE Crosby has used a string of clever hacks to hide her growing baby bump after the star revealed she is pregnant.
The Geordie Shore favourite, 34, announced today that she is expecting her second child with finance Jake Ankers.
Charlotte took to Instagram to share the happy news with her fans, sharing a sweet post and a slick brand video.
Posting a video, she captioned it: “In my babies and business ERA delighted to announce baby Ankers number 2 is due January 2025 and also delighted to announce @peppergirlsclub AW collection is live now RIGHT NOW!!!!
“I really wanted to combine these 2 moments as everything I’ve been building with Pepper over the last few years is for my family and im so proud of it!! We are so excited to be a family of 4!”
The star has kept her pregnancy under wraps for months – with old throwbacks and smart outfit choices.
BAGGY CLOTHES
Charlotte has been updating fans on her life on social media, leaving fans none the wiser that she was expecting.
But she has recently been seen sporting oversized clothes in her pictures to cover her growing bump.
On Friday, the businesswoman posed in a baggy jumper as she celebrated her clothing brand Pepper.
She shared her excitement, writing: “For almost a year I’ve been tirelessly working behind the scenes on something huge for my brand Pepper has always been a true passion project of mine!
“But even more so after having Alba!”
She continued: “I have never felt more driven to do bigger and better with my little baby pepper!! For my family! After all everything I do now is for My family and my girl!”
Last month Charlotte also posed in a white wrap over mini dress which again cleverly concealed her bump due to the design.
She captioned it: “Been abit quiet recently but I BEEN BUZZZYYYYYY,” followed with various emojis including a baby one and a pink ribbon.
BUSINESS POSTS
Charlotte has been focusing on her career more than ever lately and has been promoting her brand.
But the lack of personal updates and photos of herself hasn’t gone unnoticed by her fans.
The star has been sharing more reels and updates about her clothing company – that do not feature her in it.
In a new video posted to her Instagram, Charlotte shared a first look at the new Pepper logo.
This may be another genius move to ensure she kept her pregnancy quiet for a little longer.
CLEVER CROPS
The TV favourite has cropped some videos to get rid of her tummy and just include her shoulders.
She took to her social media platform with a holiday giveaway but only filmed from the top half to throw fans off.
USE OF PROPS
The Newcastle star has also incorporated some subtle props into her recent snaps to prevent fans from speculating about another baby.
Earlier this month she filmed a cooking video with her daughter Alba while wearing an apron.
In August, she posed for a glam shoot alongside her little girl and used a small bouquet of flowers to cover her tummy.
She also placed her one-year-old daughter in front of her while they were sat on the bed and hid behind baggy clothes and a duvet.
In another picture, she is seen sitting on her bed with her mum while Alba sits on her lap, again hiding her bump.
Charlotte’s baby news won’t come as a complete surprise as she told fans that she was “trying” for baby number two earlier this year.
In April, Charlotte and Jake enjoyed some alone time after they left their daughter with family and jetted out to Spain to see how their new Spanish home is coming along.
As Charlotte and Jake enjoyed a glass of wine together she wrote over the snap: “Special time just us two. Trying to make baby number 2.”
The couple got engaged last November, a year after welcoming their daughter.
Jake got down on one knee during a lavish trip to Dubai.
Sharing the news, Charlotte said: “Happiest woman in the world.”
The baby news is another huge moment in Charlotte’s life and comes just days after she landed another TV show appearance.
CAREER GOALS
Charlotte is set to star on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip after bosses were left desperate to land the reality icon.
A source told The Sun: “BBC bosses were over the moon to get Charlotte on the show.
“She has become a real breakout star of the BBC in recent years which is testament to her popularity with viewers.
“Not many reality stars can find themselves bagging such popular shows 13 years into their career and so it was a no brainer to get her signed up.
“There is no stopping her and her recent slate of TV roles demonstrates this.
“Charlotte will be a real hoot on the show and is sure to be the stand-out star of this upcoming run.”
Her role on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip comes off the back of her appearances on three other BBC shows over the last 12 months
Charlotte has already had two wildly popular series of her own BBC Three programme Charlotte in Sunderland.
The fly-on-the-wall series became one of digital channel BBC Three’s biggest hits as it chronicled Charlotte’s first pregnancy and journey into motherhood.
Moreover, she reached the final of the Beeb’s The Weakest Link as well as being a contestant on this year’s Celebrity MasterChef.
