Outlandish celebrity pregnancy announcements

1) Cheryl

Cheryl kept her pregnancy quiet for a pretty long time, despite constant speculation that she was having a baby with One Direction star Liam Payne. Cheryl eventually broke the news in the best way - on Instagram she finally revealed a full body shot from the L'Oreal campaign that fans had previously only seen sneak peeks of.

On the post, Cheryl didn't even mention the elephant/baby bump in the room, writing: "I am proud to announce that I am one of fifteen ambassadors working with @PrincesTrust & LOreal Paris UK to help thousands of young people turn self-doubt into self-worth. The "All Worth It" Confidence training program starts now! Link in my bio👆🏼 #ALLWORTHIT#PRINCESTRUSTLOREAL" —@cherylcole

2) Beyonce

Beyonce has stunned the world with pregnancy announcements more than once in true Bey fashion! When Beyonce was pregnant with Blue Ivy, during a memorable MTV Video Music Awards performance she unbuttoned a sparkly blazer to reveal her baby bump. The camera panned to JAY-Z in the audience who received a big hug from fellow rapper Kanye West. Does it get any more showbiz?

Not one to be outdone, even by herself, Beyonce did an even more amazing pregnancy reveal the second time. Sharing a beautiful mother-nature-style shot of her on Instagram with a blossoming bump she announced she was pregnant with twins Rumi and Sir. The photo immediately became the most-liked photo on Insta - since then it's been overtaken several times and the title is now held by... an egg.

Kate Hudson and her husband, Danny Fujikawa, announced that they were expecting their first child together, a baby girl, with a pretty extra gender reveal on Instagram.

Kate wrote: "SURPRISE!!! If you’ve wondered why I’ve been so absent on my social channels it’s because I have never been more sick! It was the most sick first trimester of all my children. Boomerangs have made me nauseous".

She also added, "We have been trying to keep this pregnancy under the radar for as long as possible but I’m a poppin now! And it’s too darn challenging to hide, and frankly hiding is more exhausting then just coming out with it! My kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited! A little girl on the way 💕"

SURPRISE!!! 🤱 If you’ve wondered why I’ve been so absent on my social channels it’s because I have never been more sick! It was the most sick first trimester of all my children. Boomerangs have made me nauseous, Superzoom is an easy way to have my head in the toilet, food instagrams make me queezy and thinking too much about insta stories made me even more exhausted than I already had been. If you’ve seen me out and about smiling and pretending like everything is amazing...I was lying! BUT! I have broken through on the other end of that and rediscovering the joys of insta/snap. We have been trying to keep this pregnancy under the radar for as long as possible but I’m a poppin now! And it’s too darn challenging to hide, and frankly hiding is more exhausting then just coming out with it! My kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited! A little girl on the way 💕

8) Kylie Jenner

Perhaps one of the best, but also worst kept secrets in Hollywood was Kylie Jenner's pregnancy. There had been so much speculation but Kylie and her family had kept tight-lipped and she had avoided being seen in public throughout. So when Kylie posted the most adorable video on 4th February 2018, the world went crazy.

The video featured Kylie's pregnancy journey, her cute relationship with Travis Scott, the labour and the first glimpse of her adorable baby girl, Stormi.
