She's currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Ben Cohen.
And Kristina Rihanoff looks to be thoroughly enjoying her pregnancy as she showed off her burgeoning bump in a lovely snap shared on Twitter on Wednesday.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, 38, was joined by a pregnant pal in the picture, the two of them cradling their tummies as they beamed for the camera.

Wearing a snug black top with matching trousers and an open jacket, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional proudly flaunted her bump in the picture, originally taken last week.
She looked pretty and glowing with the pregnancy, her blonde locks coiffed into elegant curls, a grin planted on her face. 

Kristina retweeted the picture from her friend and former Strictly professional Katya Virshilas, who had written: 'Lovely catch up with mama to be @KRihanoff #16weeks and me #25weeks pregnant !'
Katya - who appeared on the BBC dancing programme in 2009 - showed off a slightly larger bump as she's further along, and looked equally as stunning as she placed a hand on her middle for the snap.

Kristina has been enjoying her first pregnancy, and famously announced the news while in the Celebrity Big Brother house just days after entering in early January.
She remained in the TV bungalow for just over two weeks before becoming the third person to be voted out by the public.
Speaking to the show's host Emma Willis upon leaving the house, she said: 'I wanted to keep [the pregnancy] to myself at first but then I spoke to the producers and what I felt was that if I was treated differently in the house – if I was always fed [properly] and could opt out of tasks – I felt that the housemates would be very upset with me and I wanted to be fair. 
'It would stress me out to keep it to myself. Also I’m growing – I’m like a hoover – I eat everything I see in front of me!' 
However, Kristina - who has been dating former rugby ace Ben for around a year and a half - raised eyebrows when she opted to reveal her pregnancy on the reality TV show.
Love: Kristina and Ben have been an item for around a year and a half. He was previously married to ex-wife Abby, with whom he shares two daughters

It was reportedly dismissed as 'tacky' by the ex-wife of the dancer's boyfriend Ben, who Kristina originally met in 2013 when they were partners on Strictly.
A source told The Sun newspaper that the rugby star's former partner Abby - with whom he has two daughters - described the revelation as nothing more than a publicity stunt. 
The insider revealed: 'Abby thought Kristina's announcement about her pregnancy was really tacky and stunt for the show.
'She knows Kristina and Ben make a lot of money through photoshoots and other publicity and doesn't want her children being any part of that going forward.'  
In the beginning: Kristina was rugby ace Ben's professional dance partner on the 2013 series of Strictly, although they are adamant they did not start dating until after his marriage with Abby ended
