Shelby Tribble showed off her burgeoning baby bump in a gorgeous new sunset beach photo with her 23-month-old son Abel on Tuesday.
The former TOWIE star, 31, announced earlier this month that she is expecting her second child with her partner Sam Mucklow, 32.
Now the mum has delighted her fans with a stunning new image of Abel sweetly kissing her growing baby bump, as the family enjoyed a sunny holiday abroad.
Shelby glowed as she stood in the sand, holding hands with the young man as she slipped into an olive green bikini, paired with a matching mesh sarong.
She accessorized with a chunky beaded necklace and gold earrings for the night out, pulling her long brunette tresses into a ponytail.

In the caption of the adorable mother-son photo, she simply wrote, “Beach babies.”
Reality TV couple Shelby and Sam shared their happy news with a sweet social media post earlier this month alongside their son.
They posted a photo of a yellow cake with “oh baby” written next to a photo of her ultrasound.
Shelby and Sam then shared two adorable black and white snaps of them cutting the cake with wine glasses with Abel.
The skin clinic owner captioned the post: “Baby number 2 is coming soon…”
The couple met while starring on the ITVBe reality show in 2018 and confirmed their relationship the following year.
They then welcomed their first son, Abel, into the world in 2020, but announced their separation in October 2020.
Despite their split, the couple were reportedly determined to keep things “normal” for their baby.

Shelby and Sam reunited in March, five months after their shocking split.
The couple announced their first pregnancy in May 2020, posting a loving photo holding a scanned photo of the baby as she showed off her burgeoning baby bump.
The news didn’t surprise fans, as the last photo Shelby posted of her and Sam together was in June, during a family vacation.
Shelby had also been hinting at trouble on social media, writing in August: “Go where you’re celebrated, you’re not tolerated,” alongside a solo photo on a night out.
Sparking speculation that she is single, she shared a TikTok video with audio saying: “This is a song I wrote about men… It’s called ew…” with the caption: “Am I speaking for most of us ? at this point?’
A source said the sun at the time: “They are still raising their son together and want to keep things normal for Abel, but the romantic relationship is over – Shelby has the support of family and friends.”
Shelby and Sam have had a turbulent on-again, off-again relationship, which was well documented on TOWIE.
The couple began sleeping as ‘friends with benefits’, but things soon turned sour when Sam decided to pursue a romance with Demi Sims during a group trip to Thailand in 2019.
During a heated fight, Sam called Shelby a ‘shit’, but months later, the pair decided to try again.
However, they encountered opposition when Shelby’s best friend, Clelia Theodorou, told her that she had felt abandoned because Shelby spent all her time with Sam.

The former best friend had several bitter fights, with Clelia accusing her of not being there for her when she was at her lowest point after splitting from her boyfriend (Sam’s best friend).
That’s when Shelby and Sam decided to step away from TOWIE to focus on their romance.
In a statement shared on Instagram, the property manager said: “@shelbytribble and I have never been happier as we continue our little fairy tale away from the pressure and anxiety of the show.”
‘I really feel like I’ve made the right decision by focusing on the things that are really important to me!’
Prior to this, Shelby had been dating TOWIE’s Tom McDonnell and Pete Wicks. Sam was previously in a romance with Ex on the Beach’s Nicole Bass.
