Caroline who is married to Ryan's brother, Adam, is the one we all need to thank, as she showed the trick to Lucy first.

The trick is easily done by threading the hairband through the hole where your jean button is, while unzipped.

Then, thread one end of the hairband through the other end, and now you can use the hairband as the new hole.

Lucy announced her pregnancy with fiancé Ryan Thomas on her 28th birthday last week in an Instagram post.

She wrote: "Best birthday present I’ve ever had 👶🤰 love you @ryanthomas84 ❤️🥰"
