Louise, who appeared on Big Brother in 2011, previously opened up to MailOnline about all things pregnancy and her partner Stu - who she admits chased her for 10 years before they got together.  

During her pregnancy, she confessed she was struggling with her energy levels, saying: 'I'm knackered all the time. I feel like a big fat lazy pig. I'm just loling about all the time.

Bumping along nicely: Louise has kept her followers updated throughout every stage of her pregnancy so far 

'It's the only time you can do it when you're pregnant and you're allowed. I'm just completely zapped of energy. Stu helps... He does a lot.  

Louise opened up about her and Stu's union having previously been married to Jay McKray, who she met in the Big Brother house, although they split in 2013 after less than a year of marriage. 

After their split, Louise struck up a flame in Big Brother 9 contestant Stu, who she met 10 years previously: 'Me and Stu are really happy, it's our first baby together. I met him 10 years ago in a club and he tried to get my number but I was having none of it at the time.

'I thought, I don't know about him, it was weird. He got a girl to come down and give me his number and that was it. I didn't see him. I went off down to London and he went travelling and did his thing.  

Not quite a pig! Despite looking every inch the stunning soon-to-be mother, Louise revealed in her chat with MailOnline that she is struggling with her energy levels: 'I'm knackered all the time. I feel like a big fat lazy pig. I'm just loling about all the time'

'Then we got back in touch when I started going out more and seeing him at events and we became friends. He was there for me at a low point in my life and he called me. He helped me, he was a positive friend. I realised I liked him different. 

'He made the first move 100% he always tried to make the first move! He's always been after me, always. He's lucky, very lucky! He's got a normal girl not a crazy girl. He's happy he's finally got me.'

While their baby boy is Louise's first child, Stu has a 13-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, which she revealed was a big factor in her moving from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend.

She said: 'He's already got a child from a previous relationship and he's an amazing dad... That's what attracted me to him, how good he was. When we were friends I thought he's such a good dad, he's her life. I know he's a good one when it comes to being a dad. 

Happier than ever: After their split, Louise struck up a flame in Big Brother 9 contestant Stu, who she met 10 years previously: 'Me and Stu are really happy, it's our first baby together. I met him 10 years ago in a club and he tried to get my number but I was having none of it at the time'

'I'm very accepting of him that he has a little girl. I love his daughter. She's 14 soon. She's lovely. We get on really well. We have her every weekend. We're based in Manchester.' 

Louise opened up about the keys to a successful relationship - with acceptance being her top tip: 'The secret to a good relationship is accepting people for who they are, accepting who they are... You've got to have fun. Yeah I do think marriage is on the horizon.

'We wanted to get married first because we're traditional. We wanted to get married first but it's gone the other way... I want three kids. I need to get a move on. I'm getting older! I'm 30 now! People think I'm like 22.'

Speaking of her sensational figure, Louise revealed she believes body shaming can go both ways - with thinner women suffering at the hands of trolls similarly to big women. 

She said: 'I feel like there's constant pressure for women at the moment. There's no right or wrong image... Slim girls get criticised to be honest.

'I do get body shamed for my figure. I feel like I am not a woman because I'm not major curvaceous. Now I'm pregnant I'm feeling more womanly. 

'I felt self conscious in the past in relationships for not being proper curvy. I have experienced thin body shaming, I read articles from other women saying you have to be curvy.' 

Nervous! Speaking of her forthcoming birth, she admitted she would consider eating her placenta, wants a water birth and will ban processed food: 'I cook everything from scratch no processed. I'll be making all the baby's food from scratch'

Speaking of her birth at the time, she admitted she would consider eating her placenta, wants a water birth and will ban processed food: 'I cook everything from scratch no processed. I'll be making all the baby's food from scratch.

'Breast feeding. Everything! Each to their own on eating the placenta. It's meant to be quite good for you. I need to read into it a bit more. If it's beneficial I would if I knew it would help. 

'I'm terrified of the birth. It's scary isn't it! I've kind of thought about a water birth. I'd like to be in hospital in case of complications. I've got over the fear and I think I'm ready we all have to go through it us women.'
