Pregnant Rhian Sudgen shows off her blossoming baby bump in a blue patterned maxi dress as she and husband Oliver Mellor attend lunch

Rhian Sugden and her husband Oliver Mellor looked like excited parents-to-be as they headed to the Mum & Me lunch in Cheshire on Wednesday.

The glamor model, 36, showed off her blossoming baby bump in a blue patterned maxi dress as they joined a host of TV favorites at the event.

Rhian opted for comfort on her feet with sneakers and accessorized with a black Gucci shoulder bag and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses.

She held hands with former Coronation Street actor Oliver, 43, who cut a relaxed figure in a white T-shirt and black bomber jacket.

Rhian and Oliver endured a long journey to conceive and spent more than £150,000 undergoing eight grueling IVF cycles over six years to get pregnant.

In January, Rhian revealed she was expecting a baby boy, as she admitted it was “always my dream” to have a son.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said she was “over the moon” and that she and Oliver had already decided on a few potential names.

Rhian said: “I’ve always dreamed of having a little boy, I don’t know why but I always imagined having a mini football team.

“Oliver never said what he wanted, but when we found out it was a boy, he had the biggest smile on his face. We’ve already decorated the nursery and picked out a few names – for Right now we like Tommy and George.’

Strictly’s Janette Manrara, 40, and Aljaž Škorjanec, 34, also attended the Mum & Me app celebration lunch.

The couple brought their daughter Lyra, who they welcomed in July last year.

A few soap opera stars were also present at the event.

Coronation Street’s Sair Khan, 36, who announced she was pregnant with her first child in December, showed off her curves in a figure-hugging gray midi dress which she teamed with a Burberry scarf and a quilted coat.

Sair is expecting her first child with boyfriend Nathan Chilton.

Rebecca Ryan, 32, better known as Carly Hope in Emmerdale, brought her daughter Aurora, who she welcomed to the event last year.

The actress looked effortlessly chic in a cream knit polo dress which she paired with black leather heeled boots and an embellished headband.

Jessica Fox, 40, who plays Nancy Hayton in Hollyoaks, also attended the party with her friend.

The actress welcomed her first child with husband Nicholas Willes last year.

Sam and Briony Aston were also pictured at the party.

The couple is expecting their third child. They are already the proud parents of three-year-old Sonny and daughter Daisy.
