The brunette beauty has previously gushed about her upcoming arrival, especially after announcing that her boobs had grown in the process.
Louise was the envy of body conscious mums everywhere after barely putting on any weight during the first six months of her pregnancy – and maintained abs way into her second trimester.
At fifteen weeks, Louise shared with her Instagram followers that she “couldn’t wait” for her bump and wrote: “15 weeks pregnant today and I know I’m still so tiny….I want my bump so bad!!
“The good thing is I’m finally feeling like myself, I have more energy and I’m eating a lot better which is good.
“Just over a week to go till I find out the sex of my baby…so excited, so happy.”
The 29-year-old was in the BB final back in 2011 and was previously married to her co-star Jay McKray, but the couple divorced after a year back in 2013.
She is now expecting her child with another BB contestant Stu, who appeared in the ninth series - two years before Louise's stint on the show.
The pair announced their upcoming arrival back in July with a picture on Instagram of their first scan.
She wrote: “I’m going to be a Mummy!! Me and @stupilkington are excited to share the news with everyone that were expected our first baby together. We both couldn’t be happier. I can’t stop crying, I’m just so happy [sic]”
Louise and Stu join Big Brother six contestants Grace Adams-Small and Mikey Dalton, who have two children together, and Harry Amelia and Nick Henderson who are expecting a baby together, although have since broken up, in the Big Brother baby club.
