Page 3 legend Rhian Sugden has showed off her blossoming baby bump in a festive outfit on Instagram.
However the Christmassy outfit, which showed off the star's bump and cleavage, hasn't been a hit with all her followers as one complained they 'don't need the daily journey'. The Instagram snap featured a glowing Rhian posing in a green babydoll which showed off her growing bump and assets, as she beamed for the camera.
It's the latest pregnancy update from Rhian, who is expecting her first child with husband Oliver Mellor after eight rounds of IVF and a six-year journey to conceive.

Food baby and baby baby.. the most content Christmas I’ve ever had! Had to keep my tradition of a yearly sexy Santa outfit though. Just about fitting into it. I know this time of year can be difficult for a lot of people, whoever you are and wherever you are, just wanted to wish you lots of love this Xmas!"
However the festive snap wasn't met with Christmas cheer by all, as one disgruntled fan commented: "One pic was enough… we don’t need the daily journey...congrats" yet Rhian hit back at the troll comment as she replied: " it’s Instagram babe. People post pics. If you don’t want to see - click that little unfollow button x".
