She regularly posts her outfit choices and shopping hauls for her army of followers on social media (

And since sharing the news that she's expecting her first baby with Andy this year, Jilly has enjoyed styling outfits around her growing bump.
In a recent video, the mum-to-be - who has
her own fashion brand
While most fans gushed over "how glowing" she looked, one hater commented: "Is it mandatory to have your belly out in every video when you're pregnant?

"We get it, put it away.
"I'm not hating. It's my personal opinion."
But Jilly instantly hit back with her typical humour and says she refuses to be left looking like a tent.
In a clip, showing off her bump in a white co-ord, she said: "Now aside from the fact that we had beautiful weather over the weekend, 23 degrees, I'm assuming you're from Britain, and you decided to spend that indoors commenting hateful things on people's TikToks. Could never be me.

"Although you said it's not hateful, it's not hate comments and it's just your opinion, I love when people say that. 'I'm not being a hater, it's just my opinion, like I'm entitled to it', it's just another way to say I'm an a***hole. But that's cute. Each to their own."
Pulling her skirt up to cover her bump, she then continued: "You can't tell me that looks good and that's how you want me to walk about?
I was dating the same guy for just over a year and he was hiding a secret pregnant wife - he even made jokes about her & lived by a fake name
"I look like a tent from Decathlon, I look like a tent that was left in the Glastonbury Fields from last year.
"You want me to walk about like this?

"This is giving your bed sheets on the washing line, so I won't be doing that, it's not stylish of me."
Jilly then insists "you can't tell me this isn't cuter" as she pulls her skirt waistband down again to sit below her bump.
"Much more stylish, much more freeing, and in the heat that we're having, I don't want to overheat", she said.
Jilly's clip has racked up almost 250,000 views with people jumping to her defence.

One person said: "Something absolutely chilling about telling a woman who's pregnant to 'put it away'."

A third cried: "DO NOT PUT IT AWAY!!!!! I demand to see the bump I'm loving seeing you style it."
"God forbid you style yourself well while pregnant", fumed a fourth.
A fifth gushed: "An absolute queen, I am screaming."
Meanwhile a sixth said: "You look beautiful you are carrying precious cargo why not show it off."

It comes after her footballer beau revealed he had to have his "phone on loud" on the sidelines in case Jilly went into labour while he was playing for Motherwell.
'I want to be there for the birth of my first baby — but hopefully she can hold off", he joked.
But he added: 'The time has come and we're absolutely delighted that we've got the first baby on the way. The timing is good at the end of the season.

'I will have a couple of weeks off to spend every day with my wife and the baby. I'll get to do as much as I possibly can before the madness of next season starts again.
'We've got a really good network of support with both our families being from Glasgow.
'We've got mums and dads, brothers, sisters and cousins around who can help out where possible."
