The blonde bombshell, who appeared on the ITV2 reality show Love Island in 2018, has told fans it is a “dream come true” to be expecting a “baby bear”.

Sharing her exciting news, Hayley posted a picture of her growing tummy on Instagram and written alongside it: “A dream come true my little baby bear you are all we have ever wanted …”

Before revealing the exciting news, Hayley, 27, managed to keep her pregnancy a secret from fans.

The star’s most recent snap before the reveal saw the star posing with her back to the camera as she flashed a look at her tracksuit.

Hayley used various angles to keep her baby bump hidden.

She’s also been posting selfies from the shoulders up, to conceal her bump.

On Easter Sunday, the gorgeous star wrote: “Sunday selfies,” as she smiled in a car in a yellow top.

Hayley has also opted to post throwback photos, and used baggy jumpers as her friend to conceal the bump.

The star popped on a baggy grey jumper and skirt in February to snap a mirror selfie.

Hayley’s showbiz pals have been quick to congratulate her on her happy baby news.

Fellow Love Island star Liberty Poole commented: “Congrats !!!!!”

Vicky Pattinson, meanwhile, added: “Congratulations gorgeous girl .”

Kaz Crossley, who appeared on Love Island with Hayley, also wrote: “Congratulations baby.”

Hayley has made a conscious effort to keep the identity of her boyfriend out if the public eye.

In early January, she posted a picture of herself cuddling up to him while on holiday in Dubai.

Her mystery man’s face was hidden in the shot but she wrote alongside it: “Another year with you …. happy new year.”

In her pregnancy announcement, Hayley has shared another picture of her boyfriend – but again his face is obscured.

The snap shows the back of a man as he gazes at the ultrasound image of their unborn child on a big telly screen.
