Charlotte Crosby reveals how she kept pregnancy secret from her best friend Sophie Kasaei
CHARLOTTE Crosby has revealed how she kept her pregnancy a secret from her best friends Sophie Kasaei and Holly Hagan.
The 31-year-old reality star has managed to keep everyone in the dark about her pregnancy thanks to a series of clever tricks when posting on social media.
Charlotte, who announced yesterday that she is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Jake Ankers, said she struggled to keep tight-lipped about the exciting news.
“Right now it’s officially four days until I tell Holly [Hagan] and Sophie [Kasaei] ,” Charlotte said on her latest YouTube video.
“I can’t tell you how hard it has been keeping this from two people who knows better than anyone, especially Sophie because I’m with her all the time.”
The Geordie star then revealed the tricks she used to throw best pal Sophie off the scent.
She continued: “I don’t know how I’ve done it – there’s been a couple of times that she’s been guessing and she’s asked us a couple of times, ‘you haven’t been out in a while, are you pregnant?’
“And I’m like ‘nooo, I just haven’t fancied it’.
“Sometimes when I’m out with my friends I have to hold their glass of wine in a boomerang, so Sophie thinks that I am drinking, just to try and throw her off the scent.
“So when I say I can’t wait to tell them, I cannot wait to tell them.
“It’s going to feel like a weight lifted off my shoulders.”
That’s not the only way that Charlotte has tried to hide her baby bump.
Even on her holiday, Charlotte hid her bump while wearing a bikini as she shared snaps with her knees pulled up to her chest, or taken from behind.
Other recent images were cut off just above her bump – leaving her fans none the wiser.
The former Geordie Shore star also wore baggy T-shirts and posed with strategically placed bags to keep her tummy underwraps.
Smitten Charlotte announced their happy news with a video of her finding out she was expecting.
Charlotte wrote alongside the post: “A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine Is here, it’s mine (and Jakes) and i couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you all……Im having a baby .”
In the gorgeous video, Charlotte is seen going for her first scan and also telling her parents she was pregnant.
