Molly-Mae Hague's clever trick she used to keep pregnancy secret while baby shopping

Molly-Mae Hague has opened up about how she managed to hide her pregnancy for five months, recalling that she had a particular strategy when baby shopping.

The admission comes after the influencer, 23, and her boyfriend Tommy Fury, also 23, announced that they are expecting their first child together in a post on social media last week.

She has since teased details of the pregnancy, including in a Q&A on Instagram this morning - where she was asked if they have started buying things for the baby's arrival.

"No but I can now. I can't wait," she responded. Molly-Mae added that they tried to sneakily go baby shopping in the months when they were trying to conceal her pregnancy.

The PrettyLittleThing creative director - who met her boyfriend on Love Island in 2019 - revealed in the Q&A: "[We] would try and sneakily go into the baby section of shops".

She continued: "[We would] have loud convos like 'what do you think your cousin would like for her baby shower?' whilst looking at all the cute clothes we wanted to get".

Molly-Mae said in response to the question asked by one of her followers that she's looking forward to shopping, saying: "I'm so excited to start getting the things we need".

And asked if it was difficult hiding the pregnancy, Molly-Mae commented in the Q&A: "Strangely, no. It wasn't. I set myself a goal to get to 5 months without people knowing".

Discussing the outcome, she confirmed that she managed to exceed the goal. She explained: "I really didn't think I would get that far but we actually went past that point".

The pair have both since shared updates about the pregnancy, with Tommy posting another photo of them holding the bump, alongside which he wrote: "A dream come true".
