Zahida looked stunning in a gallery of pink-themed snaps as she showed off her bump while holding up the baby scan but did not reveal who the babies father is. 

In a lengthy statement, she continued: ‘For a while, I didn’t know how to put this into words, but I am choosing to finally share this news publicly with you, as I finally feel it’s the right time.

‘I found out about my pregnancy very late, I never thought I would be one of them people who didn’t have any symptoms and my body didn’t change either for a long time, so I had no clue.

Zahida then revealed that all of the cravings she has had during her pregnancy have been what she fed her dad at the end of his life.

She continued: ‘The cravings I have had were all the things I was feeding my dad at the end of his life and how beautiful now I get to have those things for the beginning of new life – my baby.    

‘But this is not a sad post, it’s a happy one. I am a hugely family orientated person, no matter how far in the world I’ve gone, my core is my family. 

‘So my baby is the biggest blessing of my life, I have felt so lucky to be carrying her all this time, feeling her grow and feeling her little kicks become big ones. 

‘Despite how uncomfortable it feels when she digs her foot between my ribs, this journey has been fascinating and magical and  have loved being pregnant and snuggling my belly at night knowing my baby is in there.’ 

Zahida went on to say the baby is ‘the biggest blessing’ of her life and she can’t wait to start her next chapter. 

She concluded: ‘For me, my life isn’t ending, it’s just beginning again and I am so excited to welcome my little miracle into the world and begin this next chapter of my life, becoming a mama.

‘To all parents and those who are doing it alone, or are going to be doing it alone, you are so strong and I have SO MUCH respect and admiration for you. You should be incredibly proud of yourself.
