How Love Island star Shaughna Phillips hid her pregnancy after whirlwind romance
LOVE Island star Shaughna Phillips has revealed that she is pregnant with her first child in a touching social media announcement.
The reality TV star has managed to keep her bump hidden from the prying eyes of fans for over three months of her pregnancy.
Shaughna, 28, revealed her pregnancy with a series of videos showing off her bump as she told fans her first child was due in March 2023.
It means that the Love Island star - who rose to fame in 2020 - has been hiding her pregnancy for three months from fans.
The TV star managed to keep fans in the dark by cleverly posing on Instagram in clothing covering up her stomach.
At the National Television Awards last week, Shaughna placed her hand and bag over her stomach to hide it from prying eyes.

"Moments like this will always require a pinch to make sure I'm not dreaming," she captioned a photo of her outfit.
The white lace jumpsuit hugged in at her waistline, creating an hourglass silhouette that distracted fans from her stomach.
While elsewhere the star covered up with long coats and flowy shirts - holding her hands over her waist to further hide her figure.
Shaughna also continued to go pose at a number of events, including weddings, festivals and awards ceremonies.
It comes as after a whirlwind romance with her boyfriend, who she started dating in April.
The Winter Love Island star has insisted she won't reveal her boyfriend's identity because he wants to stay out of the public eye.
Speaking about him earlier this year, Shaughna said: "I've been dating someone who is also a surrogate dad to my fur babies.
"I used to say [to my dates], 'I'd like to keep my relationship private, if that's ok with you?'

"And if they said, "oh no, why would you keep my private?" I'm like, red flag. But this guy was like, "I don't ever want to be in the public eye anyway," and I was like, I like that answer.
"Ever since then, we've been going from strength to strength, and I like that because anyone who opts in for everyone to know their every move, like myself, is weird."
