Chloe Sims has sparked rumours she's pregnant.

'The Only Way Is Essex' star recently got back together with co-star Elliott Wright after taking a break from their relationship and she's now hinted the pair may be expecting their first child together.

The 32-year-old beauty - who has nine-year-old daughter Madison from a previous relationship - posted an image on her Instagram account of her and Elliott at a New Year's Eve party in which he appears to be resting his hand on a mysterious bump on her belly.

However, fans of the couple insist they're simply playing a trick on their followers after a number of people speculated about whether or not she was pregnant when she posted a snap of herself in a tight fitting red dress shortly after Christmas.

It seems likely Chloe and Elliott - who has a son and daughter with his ex-wife - are not yet expecting their first baby together as the blonde beauty has also posted a number of pictures in which she's enjoying alcoholic beverages such as champagne over the festive season.

In addition to enjoying a Christmas tipple, the bump that appears in the picture in question seems to have disappeared in the rest of her pictures from her New Year's Eve celebrations, in which she poses with Elliott and their pals and TOWIE co-stars Danielle Armstrong and James 'Lockie' Lock.
