Roxy Horner has shared a glimpse into her lavish baby shower as she prepares to give birth to her first child, much to the excitement of her adoring fans.

The British model announced she was pregnant with partner Jack Whitehall earlier this year, after first hooking up with the Bad Education star in 2020. In June, the VIP couple revealed that they would be having a girl after finding out the sex of the foetus 'as soon' as they could. With just days to go until they meet their daughter for the first time, Roxy hosted a 'last minute' gathering with her loved ones on Friday.

The Essex native reposted Instagram Stories of the event to her own account yesterday, treating her 230k followers to a parasocial snippet of the swanky do. In one short clip, a group of Roxy's close friends are sitting on a plush white sofa while enjoying sweet treats and waving at the camera.

On the large coffee table, plates with the words 'Oh Baby!' can be seen next to a large arrangement of roses. As for the refreshments, bowls of crisps with dips and regal gold cups have been thoughtfully laid out. The romantic decor continues with a pillar of pink, silver and white balloons, which have been erected behind the couch, and a line of pink and white candle sticks. Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted Roxy's beloved dog, Coco, relaxing amidst his visitors.

"My tribe who have kept me together this past month," Roxy captioned one of the posts, which shows her sitting with her sister, Riana Horner, and friend Another snap shows the mom-to-be posing with her glittering black crutches, which she is using for support after being diagnosed with symphysis pubis dysfunction [SPD].

"If you have to have crutches might as well have sparkly ones," she quipped, proving the unpleasant condition hasn't compromised her love of fashion. She also wore a brown dress with a maternity support band, which has helped alleviate the 'excruciating pain' of her SPD.

Roxy tragically suffered a miscarriage last year, which left her worried about getting pregnant again. "There was a part of me that was worried to open up too soon about this baby because I was so worried something would happen again and I didn't want to have to kind of tell the world," she told Hello! in 2023.
