Pregnant Laura Anderson is seen cradling her bump in a colourful tassel dress while celebrating her birthday in Dubai.
The Love Island star filmed herself dancing in the Mirror from her hotel bedroom.
She uploaded a picture of her tucking into a tasty chocolate Soufflé at the luxury Lucky Fish restaurant as she celebrated another year around the sun.
Her plate was coated with chocolate sauce that read: "Happy Birthday Laura."
The swanky eaterie claims to be "the best seafood restaurant in Dubai" where customers are charged almost £60 for a lobster salad.

Laura was left devastated last month after the gender of her unborn tot was announced by the baby's dad, her ex Gary Lucy.
The former Hollyoaks actor took it upon himself to announce to the world that they are expecting a baby girl - without getting consent from his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
The Mirror understands that Laura had been hoping to keep the news private until later this year.
She wanted the gender reveal to be a special moment for them to share together either later in her pregnancy or when the baby is born.
A source close to Laura exclusively told The Mirror: "Gary announced the gender news without getting her consent. She’s really upset by this."

Meanwhile, Laura's fans shared their shock and dismay with one writing: "Shame you didn't get to break the news."
"It’s so bad and he knew exactly what he was doing," another added.
"It’s Laura’s first pregnancy she might have had plans to reveal it to family first or a gender reveal party which is pretty much pointless now," a third commented.
Laura and Gary met on Celebs Go Dating last year and started a whirlwind relationship.
But after months of dating Gary revealed to fans that he and Laura had split up, which was announced shortly after Laura confirmed she was pregnant.
