Arabella Chi shows off blossoming baby bump while working out in the gym as she edges closer to her due date

Arabella Chi showed off her blossoming baby bump while enjoying a workout in the gym – with the beauty expected to give birth any day now. 

The Love Island star, 34, has regularly updated her followers throughout her pregnancy as she remains determined to keep her body ‘balanced and strong’.

In her latest update on Instagram on Tuesday, Arabella challenged herself with a full body workout while sporting a cream bodysuit which flaunted her huge bump. 

Matching her bodywear with a coordinated hat and a pair of white socks, the mum-to-be initially filmed herself squatting with a weight before completing some leg curls using a machine.

She also trained her back and triceps before toning up her chest with some inclined dumbbell presses.

And it seems like the hard work is paying off, with Arabella writing that she feels the ‘fittest I have done in a while’ in her caption.  

‘A bit of appreciation for @absolutebodysolutions & @connorobrienabs for keeping my mind and body balanced and strong throughout my pregnancy,’ she added.

‘Iv been training twice a week with them and despite being 39 weeks pregnant I feel the fittest I have done in a while.

‘Down to Connor putting together a strategised pre-natal programme together for me over the past 6 months.

‘It’s now time to slow down while we wait patiently for the princess to arrive but I’m already excited to step back in the gym post baby for the post natal transformation.’ 

With Arabella now 39 weeks pregnant, the birth of her first child with businessman boyfriend Billy Henty is expected this month.

In a recent interview with MailOnline, Arabella confirmed that she will show her ‘little princess’ on social media despite many celebrities opting not to for privacy reasons. 

Speaking at Carmex’s Pots & Prosecco lunch in late April, she said: ‘Pregnancy has been fine, but it is getting tougher now at the end. It is the tiredness and she’s heavy. I’m ready now.’

Sharing why she will show her baby on Instagram, Arabella added: ‘Me and Billy have had the conversation about showing her on social media as we both have to agree and we’ve decided we will.

‘My life is very much open and on social media and she’s going to be my little princess so I want to show her.’

The Love Island beauty has described her pregnancy as ‘extra special’ after her ongoing battle with an incurable condition.  

Arabella suffers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – a lifelong hormonal imbalance characterised by ovarian cysts and irregular or excessive menstrual bleeding – which could have made it difficult for her to become a mother.

‘When I found out I was pregnant it was magical,’ she told The Mirror.

‘With my PCOS I don’t know if I’ll be able to have more children so she’s special.

‘If you’d have said to me a year ago that I would be having a baby I would have laughed in your face.’

Arabella first gained fame when she entered the Love Island villa in 2015.  

After a stint on both the original show and on series 1 of Love Island: All Stars, Arabella went public with her and Billy’s relationship in October of last year after they met through mutual friends.

Their relationship came after the Love Island star admitted that she feared time was running out for her to become a mum. 

The pair are now looking forward to welcoming their first child together.

‘I’ve learned to trust the timing of your life because life will happen how it’s supposed to happen,’ the mum-to-be said.

‘I can’t wait to become a mum to a baby girl.

‘I can’t believe that a year and three months ago I was in the Love Island villa. I feel so lucky to have found my forever partner.’

Billy added: ‘I can’t wait to be a girl dad. It’s life-changing. It’s my own little family. Arabella’s amazing. She’s got a heart of gold.’
