She captioned the images: ‘Gratuitous belly shots with thank yous alert!!! December is our baby’s birthday month(!!!), whenever it decides to make an appearance, so taking this last opportunity to thank the generous companies who’ve gifted us such gorgeous bits and bobs for our little one!

‘We’re very grateful and as with all the gifts we’ve received we’ve made donations to charity to pay it forward and say thank you.’ 

Beaming:  Rachel recently revealed that she is ‘scared’ about welcoming her first child, as she eagerly awaits her due date

Rachel recently revealed that she and her Strictly star partner are ‘scared’ to welcome their first child.

Her words came when she appeared on UKTV’s My Famous Babysitter, where she was able to ‘try before you buy’ before becoming a first time parent.

Just weeks before filming for the new show began, Rachel discovered that she and Pasha were expecting their first child.

Speaking about the unexpected baby news, she said on the show: ‘It’s crazy how the universe has plans for you.

‘At the end of last year I was thinking about a family and I guess this show is the only way you can try before you buy with kids!

‘I’ve got so many friends who are having babies, and I think last year I was kind of like, ”Ooh, yeah. They seem to be enjoying it”.

‘But there’s no way to have one and then go, “No, it’s not for me”. So I just thought it would be fun as an experiment to see what it’s like.’
