Writing in her new OK! magazine column this week, Emma revealed her intimate birthing plan as she detailed the decision behind Gaz's exit from the MTV programme Geordie Shore.

The lingerie model revealed the details of a recent baby appointment, saying: 'The staff couldn’t believe how small my bump was compared to the size of the baby.

'They were really shocked. But mainly they just told me he’s growing well and everything’s looking really healthy.'

She went on to discuss her partner's decision to leave the British show as he prepares for parenthood: 'If he had filmed the last Geordie Shore, it would have aired after the baby was born and some people don’t realise when they’re filmed, and it wouldn’t have looked very responsible, out drinking every night.'

Just before her baby shower last month, Emma was hounded by comments saying that her baby bump was small.

Showing off her growing stomach in a playful Boomerang video, which saw her displaying her bump in fitness leggings and a white cropped T-shirt, Emma wrote to followers: 'Bump has popped ready for the baby shower!' 

However, the snap was soon hit by trolls, who criticised the size of her bump, and even questioned where it was.

Another added more fiercely: 'Popped where? Popped off and onto someone f***ing else!?'

A further fan agreed, adding of her jealousy: 'Why is my food baby bigger this real baby?'

However, Emma's devoted followers were quick to defend her against the haters, and blast the critics for trying to tarnish the excitement of her new arrival.

Meanwhile other fans simply commented on how 'sensational' she looked so close to her due date, and wished her well during her last few weeks.
