Heavily pregnant former Towie star Maria Fowler is glowing in bikini as she shows off her cute bump with boyfriend in Greece
Admits she had reservations at first about wearing two-piece on hols
PREGNANCY seems to agree with Maria Fowler as she and boyfriend Kelvin Batey were snapped enjoying a blissful babymoon in Crete.
The former Towie star, 29, was the picture of heath as she proudly showed off her growing baby bump in a white halter-neck bikini.
She and BMX champ Kelvin, 35, were all-smiles as they strolled hand-in-hand together along the beach.
At one point he stopped to give the brunette a tender smooch with a hand resting protectively on her tum.
Maria has been sure to keep her fans updated on social media about the couple’s sun-kissed antics.
From days spent by the pool to mummy massages, it is clear that they have been making the most of their time on the Greek island.
She may be glowing, but the one-time Page 3 girl did admit that she felt a little apprehensive at first about embracing her changing body shape.
She wrote on Instagram: “Enjoying my holidays, was unsure weather to show my bump around the pool and apprehensive that I have put on over a stone but I'm so glad I took bikinis with me and had so many lovely comments.
I think it's important to be confident in yourself and having a healthy baby is the most important thing (sic).”

Maria and Kelvin first started dating last August.
This will mark their first child together.
In April Maria – who is currently five-six months pregnant – revealed that they are expecting a girl and has been enjoying shopping for cute little pink outfits for the new arrival.
However three years ago it could have been a very different story.
The TV personality has been very open about past struggles with depression, including attempting suicide in 2013.
Reflecting on this on an Instagram post today (June 20), she wrote over a picture of clouds: "3 years ago I was in hospital after trying to take my own life.
"Today we are putting all the nursery furniture together... You should never be made to feel worthless and never ever feel like life isn't worth living.
"In the darkness there is always light ahead."
One important light in her life appears to be Kelvin.
She has previously gushed in a social media post: "This beautiful, kind talented human.
“I don't want to be one of those that posts my relationship all over here but I never thought I would find someone like this such an honest, loyal, kind, gentleman. I'm very lucky."
