By Kirsty Mccormack


She's done a fair bit of glamour modelling in her time, and although Imogen Thomas is pregnant now, she wasn't going to let that stop her from posing at every given opportunity.

The 29-year-old star was spotted in Marbella at the weekend where she showed off her pregnant figure in bikini.

The former Big Brother contestant had escaped to Spain for a few days to visit a pregnancy yoga retreat in the hills.

However, it seems that once her yoga class was finished, Imogen fancied taking a walk along the sand where she found the perfect opportunity to pose for photos.

The brunette showed just how much her body has changed in the last few weeks, with her baby bump on full display in the pink and purple halterneck bikini.

Imogen certainly looked like pregnancy agreed with her as she modelled a slight tan and looked glowing.

She left her long dark hair down, and pushed it back with a black hairband and also wore dark sunglasses as well as a floppy summer hat.

Imogen had clearly felt the need to escape her hectic lifestyle in London, and thought that a few days relazxing in the sun would be best for her.

She is said to have visited the Wellbeing Retreat of Shanti-Som, close to Monda, in Malaga, where she enjoyed the spa and a healthy diet of fruit and berries.

It was only last month that Imogen was on holiday, once again in Spain, but this time she was obviously having a great time as she tweeted on Friday: 'Beautiful day...yoga ♥ gorgeous xxx'

However, once she was finished with her exercise regime, Imogen decided it was time to settle down and watch X Factor on Saturday night, and proceeded to tweet her thoughts.

'I think my baby likes union j!!! Kick kick #xfactor' she wrote, followed by: 'Ella is my winner #xfactor'

The reality TV star announced her pregnancy back in August and is thought to be six months gone after tweeting a five month scan photo last month.

'I've lost control': Imogen Thomas admits she's struggling with pregnancy weight gain as she poses for unairbrushed photoshoot

By Hanna Flint


Imogen Thomas has revealed she has 'lost control of her body' after becoming pregnant.

Far from embracing the lumps and bumps that come with impending motherhood, the former beauty queen says that she hates the cellulite and stretchmarks that comes with having a baby.

The glamour model who is five months pregnant says she has gained a stone and feels out of control especially when making her food choices.

Out of control Imogen Thomas hates the way her size 10 body has ballooned out of shape

Speaking to Now Magazine, the former Big Brother contestant said, ‘I know it’s natural and it’s just my body preparing for childbirth, but I hate how big I’m getting!'

'I’ve always been a control freak about my body, but now I’ve definitely lost control... I’m eating crisps every single day and I’ve got a whole cupboard full of chocolate, biscuits and crisps. My boyfriend saw it and said he was disgusted!'

Before Imogen, 29, found out she was pregnant, she always thought her favourite part of having a baby was a growing tummy: 'I always said if I got pregnant I’d love a big belly...[but] I’ve got a tilted womb so it pushes the baby out so I look bigger.'

"Baby wants them": Glamour model Imogen says that her boyfriend is disgusted at the amount of crisps and sweets she's eating

Demi Moore, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson are just a handful of celebrity mothers who have displayed a proud pregnancy figure on the covers of magazines. But for Imogen, a former size 10 who weighed 9 stone, is all too aware of where her baby weight is going:

'I’m putting on weight on my sides and I’ve got bingo wings. It’s depressing. And my hips have got a lot wider. I tried my jeans on the other day and I couldn’t even get them half way up my leg!

'I’m really scared about my stretchmarks, too.'

Imogen's modelling agency seem just as concerned for her career, telling the soon-to-be mother that unless she can get her body back in shape it's doubtful she could return to modelling. This is a scenario Imogen is all too aware of, as she points out, 'I'm nearly 30 and I'm competing with 18-year olds'.

Today Imogen shot down reports that she hated her baby bump via Twitter:

'THE @TheSunNewspaper 2DAY IT SAYS I HATE MY BABY BUMP.THIS IS TOTALLY UNTRUE.I LOVE MY BABY BUMP SO MUCH AND IT CLEARLY SAYS THAT IN @NOWMAG'

But with another 4 months to go before her due date, it's no surprise that the model has already cooked up a post-pregnancy plan of action:

'I want my size 10 body back within four weeks. As soon as the baby’s born, I’ll be on a diet and working out like mad every single day as much as I can... I want to be a yummy mummy.'

And Imogen's obsession to get her svelte figure back means that if 'every diet under the sun' doesn't give her a flat stomach, than she would 'never say never' to going under the knife.

However, these body image concerns aren't new to Imogen who says she's been 'called fat everyday of [her] life by bullies.'

Sadly, the former beauty queen's weight issues seem to have placed added pressure on her who already worries about giving birth:

'I’m really scared – I keep thinking I’m going to die! I’ve read a lot of stuff where things can go wrong. I don’t mind a bit of pain, it’s natural and everyone deals with it differently.'

'I don't believe in marriage': Although Imogen Thomas says she and boyfriend Andy Horsley will move intogether after the birth, there are no plans to wed just yet.

By her side is boyfriend Adam Horsley, 26, a city trader who Imogen has only been dating for a year.

The couple plan on moving in together after the birth but as yet there are no plans to tie the knot, with Imogen saying she 'doesn't believe in marriage.'

Dangerous curves! Imogen Thomas shows off her pregnancy figure as she steps out in skin-tight lycra outfit

By Daily Mail Reporter


She's only months away from giving birth but Imogen Thomas isn't about to give up her tight fitting clothes any time soon.

The glamour model stepped out his morning (Friday) to pick up some dry-cleaning, wearing skin-tight, stone wash leggings and a tight grey tank top.

The TV star seemed to be wearing a pair of high-waisted maternity leggings which pulled in her growing stomach although she didn't seem to be too worried about her ample chest as she went bra-free.

Heavily pregnant Imogen put together a more demure look as she attended the Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards last night.

The brunette reality star might have more to consider when it comes to dress for the red carpet but she made sure that she stood out for all the right reasons.

Imogen went for a more conservative look, covering up her considerable assets in a tight-fitting high-necked dress. A look that certainly suited her.

The party-loving star looked striking in the aqua marine dress with a frilly black trim about the neck.

The stretchy calf-length dress clung to the 29-year-old in all the right places, and accentuated the growth of her bump.

Although the classy dress was a more demure look than usual for the topless model, Imogen went to town on her make-up, pairing bright red lips with heavy eye liner and sparkling bronzer.

While slightly more cautious pregnant women may have opted for a flat or lower shoe, Imogen is a dab hand at walking in skyscrapers and donned a pair of studded black shoes for the award ceremony.

The Welsh TV star wore a pair of black high-heeled boots when she stepped out last month but has been sticking to trainers and flat shoes for the last few weeks.

The glamour model might be willing to walk in heels, but the pregnant star wasn’t about to risk a glass of champagne and tweeted this morning that she’d stuck to Diet Coke all night:

‘Morning!!! I feel hungover cause I’m so tired hahaha!! #Dietcokehead’
Instead of staying at home with her feet up, Imogen has decided to live rest of her child-free live to the max.

The Big Brother star tweeted a picture of herself living it up with friends at a spa in Surrey at the beginning of the week, clearly enjoying having some free time before she has a baby on her hands.

Although they’ve been dating for almost a year and are expecting their first baby together, Imogen has spoken openly about her lack of desire to marry or move in with her beau, Adam Horsley, although a recent tweet may suggest that the couple are set to live together after all:

'‘House hunting in chiswick is going my head in!!’ (sic)
