In the snaps, the 35-year-old looked gorgeous in a bold orange and pink leopard-print minidress which showed a hint of her blossoming baby bump.

Just the day before, Rachel shared two new pictures from their recent travels. One of the shots showed husband Pasha hugging Rachel from behind as they both cradled her baby bump while their 21-month-old daughter Maven looked preoccupied.

It's an exciting time for Rachel and her family. She and husband Pasha are due to welcome their second child this autumn. They started dating in 2014 after they were partnered together in the 2013 series of Strictly. The couple then married in June 2019 in Las Vegas, months before welcoming their first child, little Maven, on 15 December.
