Megan McKenna shows off her growing baby bump in black bikini as she plays sport in the sea
MEGAN McKenna proudly showed off her blossoming baby bump during a sun-soaked holiday.
The MTV reality star announced that she was having her first baby last month.
Megan, 31, and her footballer fiance Oliver Burke, 27, played bat and ball in the sea in Dubai.
She looked incredible in a black bikini, which she teamed with a white cap to protect her face from the sun.
In another video she showed off her breakfast outfit, joking that in Dubai you can be “as glam as you like”.
She covered her hair with a silk headscarf and wore huge sunglasses.
The TV star wore a burgundy swimming costume under a loose-fitting shirt and a pair of wide-legged linen trousers.
“My favourite thing about Dubai is you can be as glam as you like for breakfast…” she wrote in the caption, before wishing fans a lovely Saturday.
Megan recently concerned fans after she tucked into a plate of “unsafe” food during her pregnancy.
One evening on the trip she hit a posh restaurant and ordered a plate of prawns.
Megan McKenna's career so far
Megan McKenna became famous after appearing on Ex on the Beach in 2015
She’s since worked on shows like TOWIE and Celebrity Big Brother, where she finished in fourth place.
After joining TOWIE in 2017 she became a fan favourite and stayed on the show until 2018.
As well as reality TV, she’s launched a music career. Her debut single High Heeled Shoes reached number one on the iTunes chart.
In 2018 she competed on the ITV reality competition show, The X Factor: Celebrity. She impressed the judges with her performances and made it to the semi-finals before being eliminated.
Megan held a prawn to the camera before munching it down.
This prompted one fan to write in the comments section: “Don’t they day not to eat seafood when pregnant ie prawns etc.”
Another mused: “Not really meant to eat any kind of fish food or eggs.”
A third then mused: “Eeek don’t eat prawns!” yet one fan quickly retorted: “Eek yes you can!”
The NHS website states that expectant mums can eat cooked fish and seafood, so Megan was doing the right thing.
The website adds: “You should avoid raw shellfish because they can have harmful bacteria, viruses or toxins in them. These can make you unwell and give you food poisoning.
“You should avoid ready-to-eat cold-smoked or cured fish because it could be contaminated with listeria bacteria.”
It warns the resulting infection called listeriosis can be very dangerous to pregnancies.
But the NHS advice adds: “During pregnancy it’s safe to eat … seafood/shellfish as long as it has been thoroughly cooked until steaming hot.”
Also clarifying the situation, a fan added: “Perfectly fine if cooked properly.”
