Leigh-Anne Pinnock has cancelled her plans for a content day, telling followers her body was saying no as she prepares to welcome her third child. The former Little Mix star, 35, who appears in the second series of Celebrity Traitors, shared a clip on Instagram of herself lying down, shaking her head and wagging her finger.
She wrote on the clip: "Was supposed to do a content day for my new song today, but my body's saying no. Feeling tired, uncomfortable and emotional... 3 weeks to go. I choose me today." In her caption, she added: "It gets like that sometimes!! I’ve been in overdrive as always but today I had to say absolutely NOT and I’ve been in bed ever since."
Fans praise the singer for listening to her body
Her followers were quick to praise her for listening to what her body was telling her. One user commented: "Yesss to listening to your body babe. Pregnancy is a whole deal." Another added: "Rest is best divaaaaaa," while a third said: "You gotta put yourself first always!! You got this girl."
Leigh-Anne, who is already mum to five-year-old twins with professional footballer Andre Gray, is pregnant with her third child. She did not reveal the news until July, but is now expecting to give birth very soon. She announced her pregnancy with a video that showed off her baby bump in a music studio, captioning it: "As one chapter ends, another begins."
Pregnancy kept secret during Celebrity Traitors filming
She hid her pregnancy while filming for Celebrity Traitors, despite being three months along, according to reports. She flew to Scotland for the show along with other stars, including Ross Kemp and Maya Jama. The singer reportedly chose to keep her pregnancy a secret from the production team in the Highlands, hiding her baby bump with clothing such as baggy jumpers and big coats.
A source recently claimed: "Leigh-Anne was three months pregnant while filming Celebrity Traitors." They continued to tell the Daily Mail: "She decided to keep it a secret. Production didn’t know, and she didn’t announce the news while in Scotland."
Cast includes James Blunt, Jerry Hall and King Kenny
Musicians, models and content creators round out the cast of the second series. Alongside Leigh-Anne, bosses brought in big names such as singer-songwriter James Blunt, supermodel and actress Jerry Hall and YouTube creator King Kenny. Ross Kemp, Maya Jama and Rob Beckett have also been involved, as has Richard E Grant, but his time in the castle was short lived. Within moments of being confirmed as a traitor, he blurted out the secret to his castlemates, and his ill-fated decision quickly led to them banishing him from the show in record time.
