Casey Batchelor looks ready to pop as the eight months pregnant model has lunch in Essex

CASEY Batchelor showed off her blossoming baby bump in a stunning grey dress -  and killer thigh high boots.

The mum-to-be was enjoying a day out in Essex and looked gorgeous in her clinging outfit -  with just weeks to go before her baby is due.

The eight-months pregnant reality star, 33, chose a tight-fitting short dress, looking glamorous as she ran errands.

She did not compromise on her style despite being ready to burst and she glammed up in black suede over the knee boots.

The yoga loving star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Dane Goodson, and she has been preparing with shopping sprees at Mothercare and at The Baby Show last weekend.

The star looked happy and relaxed, and appears to be over the worse after recently admitting she still suffered from morning sickness at 22 weeks pregnant.

In a heartfelt Instagram post she said: "People just won’t understand the sickness and tiredness until they are actually pregnant.....I know for hell sure I didn’t!

She added: "22 weeks pregnant and still have the nausea and dry heaving, heartburn, headaches, back ache and of course out of breath from the heaviness of my ever growing boobs.

"BUT FOR SURE WILL ALL BE WORTH IT... We can’t wait to meet our little one."

She added: "Your body will go through many changes as pregnancy has its way with you.

"But the biggest change will be your slow and beautiful transformation from being a woman to being a mother."

Casey had kept her romance with 'secret' boyfriend Dane Goodson, 32, private before she made the bombshell announcement in November that she was pregnant.

The pair have been together for nearly two years.

When talking about their news, Casey said she was "excited, overwhelmed and happy."
