Going on 'Work Mode'

Since the start of the new year, the usual social media-savvy Scarlett has been playing things a little bit differently.

Rather than sharing her goings-on and life updates, she's instead filled her feed exclusively with work promos and ads – some of which are normally shot several weeks in advance.

By doing this, she's been able to bypass the sneaky shots and big coats to hide her growing bump.

This has included ads for Scarlett Moffatt's Driving School on BBC Three, and videos from her podcast with Scott, titled Scarlett Moffatt Wants To Believe.

Because of this, she's managed to completely swerve any speculation.

Making her wardrobe work for her

Getting pregnant at this time of the year definitely helps – as the naturally cold time of year allows you to wrap up without causing any problems.

Scarlett has also naturally favoured looser clothing as well, meaning when she did update her social media accounts, including fancy dinners with Scott in London, no one was any the wiser.

Selfies only

It's one of the oldest tricks in the book – selfies only show your face, and therefore it's pretty easy to hide a growing baby bump.

Scarlett has always been one for a good selfie, even posting a sweet dedication to Scott on Valentine's Day of them in London's Oxford Street, celebrating her other half.

"My Valentine forever and always 💌," she wrote. "Don’t know what I would do without you. So happy you came into my life, you make everything better 🤍 My soulmate."

The post was uploaded just days before they announced their happy news – and judging by the smiles on their faces, it was clear they are on cloud nine with their little secret kept firmly under wraps.

Congratulations, guys!
