After revealing that he and his spouse Gareth are expecting twins, Made in Chelsea actor Ollie Locke showed off his surrogate’s burgeoning baby bulge.
Last month, the TV star, 35, and Gareth revealed the happy news with a photo of the baby ultrasound.
Ollie updated supporters on their trip by posting a photo of himself resting his palm on surrogate Rebecca Ward’s developing tummy.
‘Think you’ll find there is a baby bump growing very quickly!!’ he wrote.
In the original post announcing their pregnancy, Ollie shared: ‘We are beyond delighted to finally be able to share the news that we are expecting twin baby Locke-Locke’s into the world this summer!
‘You have all been so wonderful throughout the last 3 years of us trying to have a family and we promise to share every step of this adventure with you all.

‘For all those on their own journey to become parents we are with you and sending all the baby dust your way!
‘Thank you to our sensational surrogate @bex7ward for being the most incredible human, the love we have for you and your family is just another level! Xx’.
The couple’s first round of IVF with their surrogate in 2021 did not succeed, and she miscarried at six weeks in December of that year.
At the time, Ollie wrote: ‘This is the last thing I want to be writing, but this is sadly a part of our journey.’
He continued: ‘In early November our life changed in the most extraordinary and wonderful way, those two perfect lines shone through a pregnancy test telling us we were pregnant and Gareth, myself, our surrogate and our families were all ecstatic.
‘After a difficult year, a little bean growing inside the best person you could ever imagine was the most wonderful early Christmas present we could ever have imagined. Through the course of nature, at 6 weeks and 2 days it stopped growing and had gone.’
