The cosy yet elegant décor was a true reflection of Michelle’s effortlessly chic style, creating the perfect atmosphere for a heartwarming celebration.

Michelle, who has been embracing pregnancy with a sense of calm and joy, has largely kept the details of her journey private, but this rare peek into her baby shower had fans swooning over the beautifully curated brunch.

Her best friend Katie Fearnehough organised the special day with the help of event planning company Peony Events, which is based in Cheshire, and it’s clear that her loved ones pulled out all the stops to make the moment extra special for the mum-to-be.

Michelle and Mark, who have been married since 2015, announced their exciting baby news back in December, sending their devoted fanbase into a frenzy.

The couple, who split their time between their Essex mansion and travels abroad, have long spoken about their dreams of starting a family, and now, that long-awaited moment is finally around the corner.

Throughout her pregnancy, Michelle has been keeping things low-key, whilst focusing self-care and filming the latest season of her hit show Brassic.

Just last week, she shared a series of snaps documenting her “self-care January,” showing off her relaxed yet glowing look as she embraced a slower pace of life.

While Michelle has yet to reveal her due date, her growing bump has been stealing the spotlight, with fans already speculating about whether she and Mark will be welcoming a baby boy or girl.

The excitement surrounding their little one’s arrival has been undeniable, with both families overjoyed at the prospect of a new addition.

Mark, who has been doting on Michelle throughout her pregnancy, has previously spoken about becoming a dad. "It's hard work with the pressure of having babies," he said on Loose Women. "We're going to give birth to an ugly duckling and let everyone down," he joked.
