In fact, it was such a surprise Solomon has confirmed she didn't realise she was pregnant for the first months, leaving little time for adjustment for the family.

In new photos, Solomon proudly displayed her baby bump in a series of loving photos with Swash taken in their Essex home, dubbed Pickle Cottage.

Alongside the pictures, posted on Instagram, Solomon wrote: "Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought.

"When we found out we still wanted to have that first few months you usually would to adjust and get excited and enjoy it to ourselves, but that didn’t leave us with very long left.
