Stacey Solomon pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes when she attended Winter Wonderland earlier this month ahead of her shock pregnancy news.
The star, 33, cleverly concealed her growing baby bump as she posed for pictures alongside husband Joe Swash, 40, at the star-studded festive event.
Donning an oversized cable knit jumper dress, the soon-to-be mother-of-three had everyone fooled as she wrapped up against the December chill.
Stacey wore a large checked wool jacket over her dress as well as a scarf that we now know was an ensemble crafted to disguise her belly that was growing by the day.
Standing beside her beau, she sported a white woolly bobble hat and white snow boots to match as the pair enjoyed some festive fun in Hyde Park.
But how did she manage to keep her little secret under wraps with flashes and cameras galore?

The Loose Women star shoved her hands in her jacket pockets pulling the material across her body for individual red carpet shots and stuck one leg out in front for Instagram photos of the night, guiding the material away from her body in what appeared to be a candid move.
Stacey and Joe shared their happy announcement on social media and revealed to fans they were excited to welcome their third child in 2023.
In the sweet video, the former X Factor contestant captured the moment she told her husband the news.
Captioning the reel: ‘So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for to the moon & back bub @realjoeswash [sic]’, the father-to-be was heard exclaiming: ‘This is the best news bubba’.

The couple are already parents to Rose, 14 months, and Rex, three, while Stacey has sons Leighton, 10, with her ex-partner Aaron Barham and Zachary, 14, with Dean Cox.
Blending their families, Joe is also a father to son Harry, 15, who he shares with Emma Sophocleous, his ex-fiancée.
Their happy news brought with it a flood of loving comments from famous friends including fellow soon-to-be-mum Molly Mae Hague who wrote: ‘Oh how amazing congratulations guys [sic]’.
Rylan Clark also shared his excitement at the announcement: ‘Can I buy this one please xxx CONGRATS you lovely pair xxxx [sic]’.
Singer James Arthur penned: ‘Congratulations guys! x’, followed by a string of red love hearts.
Metro.co.uk contacted Stacey’s reps for comment.
