Leigh-Anne, 29, announced her pregnancy news back in May – just days before her bandmate Perrie Edwards shared she was pregnant with her first child.

The musician posted a snapshot of her baby bump, and she wrote: "We've dreamed about this moment for so long and we can't believe the dream is finally coming true... we can't wait to meet you."
