Pregnant Kate Ferdinand glows on her 32nd birthday as she shows off blossoming bump

Kate Ferdinand looked glowing on her birthday as she showed off her blossoming baby bump. The pregnant former TOWIE star, who turned 32 yesterday, took to Instagram to snap herself spending the day with her family and friends in the blazing sunshine. She put her blossoming bump on full display in a skin-tight black maxi dress which she accessorised with black shades and gold jewellery.

"It doesn't get much better, family, friends and a lemon ice on your birthday", she penned alongside the pictures. In one, she beamed as she held a lemon ice in front of a baby blue ice-cream truck outside her home. In another, she posed with husband Rio in the garden as the couple count down the days until they get to meet their second child together.

Last month, Kate revealed that she's expecting her second child, a little girl, to arrive in July. Taking to Instagram, one fan asked her: "How long before bubbas due? Exciting times," as Kate replied: "8 weeks to go! & the belly is rapidly growing!" The former reality star shares a two year old son named Cree with Rio, and she is also step-mother to his three children, Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 11. Kate often opens up on the realities of being a step-parent to Rio's children, who's mother, Rebecca Ellison, tragically died of breast cancer aged 34 in 2015.

In one of the snaps shared with her 1.4million followers, Kate showed her little boy Cree giving her a massive hug at the table as she opened up her pressies with a giant white birthday balloon next to them. Her fans raced to the comments to wish her a happy birthday and gush over how beautiful she looks. One person said: "Such beautiful precious memories.
