Just days after her Little Mix band mate Leigh-Anne Pinnock hinted the birth of her first child is imminent, Perrie Edwards has also delighted her fans, uploading a number of stunning shots of herself showing off her blooming baby bump.

Perrie, who announced she was expecting her first child with her fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back in May, took to her Instagram page to post three separate snaps of herself gracing her large bump.

Admitting how happy she is right now, the 'Sweet Melody' singer told fans: 'Words cannot describe how I’m feeling on the inside… I could quite literally burst with joy ❤️'. (sic)

Perrie's Little Mix BFF Jade Thirlwall was quick to comment on the beautiful post, writing: 'SO SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭😭 love you ♥️♥️♥️♥️'. (sic)

Other famous faces also commented on the snaps, singer Meghan Trainor wrote: 'OBSESSED 😍', with Giovanna Fletcher adding: '❤️❤️❤️'.

A fan then commented: 'Aaaaaaaawwwwh this is insane!! Look how beautiful my idol is looking here 😢 can’t believe how life has been changed in a very good way! 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ i am so happy for you!'. (sic)

Later in the day, Perrie shared more snaps of herself, this time naked shots covered in gold paint. She wrote: ' Baby Ox… soon… ♥️'.

Just like her band mate Leigh-Anne, Perrie hasn't confirmed when her due date is for her new arrival, but judging by the latest photos, it looks like baby Ox could be arriving in the coming weeks!
