How Gaz Beadle’s pregnant girlfriend Emma McVey hid her baby bump from jealous fans: throwback bikini shots, FAKE cocktails and an Instagram ban

GAZ Beadle and Emma McVey’s pregnancy announcement stunned their fans earlier this week.

And it’s not surprising, as over the past few months Gaz and Emma have worked very hard at keeping their special secret under wraps.

Although neither seemed to change up their usual routine of loved up pictures online and fancy dinners out, and Emma continued posting snaps of herself in a bikini, they did make some very subtle changes.

In fact, these changes were so slick, barely any of their fans noticed what the pair were up to.

Gaz and Emma’s drinking habits didn’t seem to change, with Gaz posing up with a pint of larger and Emma with a pretty cocktail in hand.

But now she’s revealed she was enjoying non-alcoholic cocktails – meaning her fans were non-the-wiser about the fact she was abstaining from booze.

A quick glance at Emma’s Instagram profile over the past few weeks and she’s almost constantly in a bikini.

And with her rock hard abs, little gave away that expecting her first child with the Geordie Shore star.

Looking back however, it’s clear to see that nearly all of Emma’s bikini pictures are throwbacks from holidays she enjoyed before finding out she was pregnant.

As for the loved up pictures the couple are so fond of posting, Gaz carefully ensured that most pictures were cleverly taken above the waist – so no tell-tale signs could be noticed.

Emma first showed off a hint of a baby bump during a loved up break with Gaz earlier this month.

Lying on a yacht, Emma’s growing baby bump could be seen but neither was ready to reveal their happy news.

Gaz and Emma made their announcement on Tuesday evening, with both posting the same pictures on Instagram.

Alongside the picture of the couple cuddling up with a pair of baby booties, Gaz wrote: “SO SO SO excited to eventually be able to tell you all this... I AM GOING TO BE A DAD... WE ARE HAVING A BABY..

“I love kids and literally can't wait for this new adventure... argghhhh literally no words SOOOO HAPPY!!!”

Emma re-posted the picture and told her followers: “So excited to share our news and begin our new adventure, we can't wait to meet you little one. We are having a baby!!!”

The next day, The Sun Online exclusively revealed how Gaz had quit Geordie Shore to focus on being a father.

While Emma and Gaz rejoiced in the news, his ex-girlfriend Charlotte Crosby was left stunned.

She broke down on national television when thanking her fans for their support in light of their announcement.

And later, The Sun Online revealed how Charlotte couldn’t stop crying after trying to cope with the news the man she had loved was expecting another child.

Gaz’s special news was more difficult for Charlotte, given she suffered an ectopic pregnancy while expecting his child last year.
