Jess Impiazzi showed off her growing baby bump in a series of snaps taken during her babymoon in a post shared to Instagram on Thursday.
The star, 36, who is 27 weeks pregnant, looked happier than ever as she prepared to welcome her 'miracle' baby boy with her partner Sam Bird, 39, after years of IVF.
Cradling her stomach, Jess revealed they were enjoying a relaxing 'babymoon' at Champneys Wellness Spa in Hertfordshire.
Jess spent quality time with Sam before becoming a family of three, as they had some 'well-needed rest' and a massage.
Alongside her snaps of their relaxing getaway, Jess penned a caption reading: 'Baby bump is now 27 weeks, our little boy's kicks are getting stronger and stronger (especially at 4/5am,) but it’s great when I feel him because I know he’s safe!

'I have a 28-week ultrasound next week and I’m looking forward to getting to see him on the screen again!'
The post comes weeks after Jess confirmed the gender of her 'miracle baby', days after revealing she was pregnant.
The star took to Instagram last month to share the joyous news about her pregnancy, having undergone IVF while also battling chronic disease, lupus.
Alongside an image of her scan and a babygrow featuring the words 'Coming soon', she also posted a shot showing her clutching pictures of her scan and images in her lingerie while cradling her bump alongside the joyous caption.
She wrote: 'It’s been hard keeping this secret, especially as a huge over-sharer. It’s not been an easy journey but my @sambird_official has been there through every ivf appt, every jab, every hospital appt, and I love him so much...
'We’re so excited to welcome our little boy in May 2026 and cannot wait to meet him. You can read about our journey and my fertility issues in this week's Closer Magazine how lupus and fertility has been quite the challenge #lupusfertility #lupus #ivf.'
Confirming that they are expecting a baby boy, the expectant mum told Closer magazine: 'I was convinced I was having a girl.
'Then I thought, actually, sometimes in life it's bloody hard being a woman and wouldn't it be lovely to have a boy to introduce me to motherhood.

'I'd raise him well, and if I get lucky enough to have a girl next, he can look after her if anyone messes with her!'
Jess went on to say she would love more children with Sam, if 'we are able to'.
In her announcement last month, Jess revealed she will welcome her first child in May this year.
Jess previously dated Jermaine Pennant up until 2023, soon after which she found love with Sam.
She was diagnosed with lupus in 2023 and revealed later on that she feared early menopause would lead her to become infertile.
She said: 'I have always wanted to have a family so to be told the chances of having my own children are slim is heartbreaking. We had talked about kids but we haven’t even been together for two years and assumed we had more time.'
Jess explained that she had been diagnosed with low ovarian reserve in 2023, as she persevered through to continue her IVF journey.

Previously speaking about her IVF journey, Jess said to her fans: 'Hey everyone - thank you to all who have messaged me yesterday regarding egg collection. I just wanted to do a little update.
'Firstly I know this is not an easy journey, but since I spoke up about it i was actually shocked how many people are going through this or have been through this, I thank each and everyone of you for reaching out and sharing your story, it helps more than you know to have a community.
'As many will know who’ve followed this from the start I was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve earlier this year and that will mean I’ll hit an early menopause...
'My AMH level was 0.5 with is exceptionally low especially at my age of 34. I honestly felt like my world had been pulled from under me, I saw a family and little "me’s" in my future but that felt like it was suddenly not so certain...'
