The Saturdays star, who is now 30 weeks pregnant, has revealed she's been wearing lots of bikinis recently while holidaying in Portugal because she feels uncomfortable wearing anything else due to her expanding tummy.

She said: "My bump has grown massively on holiday. It's taken on a life of its own! I've been wearing bikinis because I feel so much more comfortable in them. Swimsuits just aren't for me."

While the 26-year-old singer - who already has 19-month-old son Parker with her retired soccer player husband Wayne Bridge - confessed she has been left feeling self-conscious in the revealing items, she was pleased to have a positive reaction after posting a photo online of her wearing a bikini while playing with Parker.

She explained: "I was nervous about sharing it at first because my belly is out and the bump is bare, but I really like it and Parker looks so funny! I'm glad I posted it now because I've had some really lovely comments."

However, she admitted the flesh-baring outfits have left her feeling chilly as the weather has been disappointing for her and her family during their trip.

Writing in her column for OK! magazine, she said: "My parents and my sister Tor got here a few days ago and it's the first family holiday we've had in years. Since they arrived it's been really cloudy and raining, though. The weather's been better in England!"
