Liz revealed in May that she was pregnant with her "miracle" first child after two decades of struggling to conceive.
Now, taking to Instagram, the singer looked happier than ever as showed of her huge bump.
The lovely snap was captioned: "I had a scan yesterday and apparently I'm carrying the hulk version of a baby boy.
"But I've been told that it's quite common for ivf babies to be bigger.
"(Although, he's particularly massive so they'll keep an eye on that).
"Generally, the second trimester is treating me so well! I'm just finding it hard to walk as I've got something called PGP (not serious at all, just painful),
"So I'm off to physiotherapy and water therapy (or something similar to that) soon.
She ended the sweet messaged with: "Still so grateful!"
The post gained nearly five thousand likes and fans were quick to respond with one writing: "Blooming beautiful. Keep up the therapies and take care in the heat.
"Feet in cold water when it gets too warm. Big loves it's gorgeous seeing your preggo journey."
Another added: "Please keep the updates coming. I'm so invested in your IVF journey. It gives us hope! Sending love and positivity"

While a third said: "Aww you look fab. They spent most of my pregnancy saying my little boy was gonna be big.
"Then he came 3 weeks early and weighed 6.11. Being a boy mum is the best xx."
"Looking great, hope the pgp eases."
The Atomic Kitten star shocked fans by revealing her secret wedding on social media.
At the time she posted a picture of her embracing her new hubby - but kept his face hidden from view.
But, last year Liz unveiled him to the world as Peter Cho - with a sweet tribute to her Instagram stories.
Liz and Peter had tied the knot at the five-star Broadoaks Country House Hotel in the Lake District.
But behind her smiles and confident stage performances, Liz was secretly going through a battle with infertility and underwent IVF to conceive.
Opening uo about her pregnancy she said: 'I've been keeping a secret from you, and I've mostly kept myself off social media because sometimes it was hard to smile.
'But after years of sometimes quite painful IVF and dark times, I'm pregnant! We feel like we've been given the world.'

Black Sabbath, Elton John and Rod Stewart among music giants paying tribute to Ozzy Osbourne

Black Sabbath have paid tribute to their former frontman Ozzy Osbourne after the megastar died at the age of 76. Osbourne's death on Tuesday morning was announced in a statement, which said he died surrounded by his family. His death came just weeks after he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates - Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward - and performed a huge farewell concert for fans. The band paid tribute to him on Instagram by sharing an image of Osbourne on stage at the farewell gig in Birmingham and writing "Ozzy Forever". Iommi, the band's lead guitarist, said he was in disbelief at the news. "It's just such heartbreaking news that I can't really find the words, there won't ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother." 1:17 Butler, Black Sabbath's bassist and primary lyricist, thanked Osbourne for "all those years - we had some great fun". He said: "Four kids from Aston - who'd have thought, eh? So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston. Love you." Sir Elton John described Osbourne as his "dear friend" and a "huge trailblazer" who "secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods". "He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met," the singer wrote on Instagram. Ronnie Wood, of The Rolling Stones, wrote: "I am so very sad to hear of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham." Born John Michael Osbourne on 3 December 1948 in Aston, Birmingham, he became known as the godfather of heavy metal. The self-styled Prince of Darkness pioneered the music genre with Black Sabbath before going on to have huge success in his own right. He was famous for hits including Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs, Crazy Train and Changes, both with the band and as a solo star. Legendary American heavy metal band Metallica shared an image of them with Osbourne from 1986 along with an emoji of a broken heart. Posting on Instagram, Sir Rod Stewart said: "Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there - later rather than sooner." Queen guitarist Sir Brian May said he was "grateful I was able to have a few quiet words" with Osbourne after his farewell show at Villa Park three weeks ago. He said the world will miss the singer's "unique presence and fearless talent".

EXCLUSIVE How Ozzy Osbourne was 'haunted' by his father's death… but ultimately suffered an eerily similar fate

Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne has died 'surrounded by love' at the age of 76, a statement from his family revealed on Tuesday. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away following a string of health concerns, including recovery from substance abuse, multiple spinal operations, and a years-long battle with Parkinson's disease. Despite his ailing health in recent years, the musician never shied away from his fans. Most recently, Osbourne reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell concert at Villa Park Stadium, less than three weeks before his passing. But according to an inside source, who's known the rock icon for several decades, the farewell concert was merely Osbourne's goodbye to performing on-stage. In fact, he was planning on releasing a new album for later in the year and hoping to reunite with his frequent collaborator, award-winning music producer Andrew Watt. 'Ozzy saw Villa Park as the farewell on his live shows, not his career,' the source exclusively told the Daily Mail. 'With the memoir, album, and TV shows, there was a lot more for him to focus on this year alone. Ozzy was always like, 'This is not the f***ing end…I have got stuff to do.' His memoir, titled Last Rites, is expected to hit shelves in October this year. The autobiography will chronicle his life and career, including his marriage to devoted wife Sharon Osbourne, as well as his recent health struggles. Osbourne had also been filming a feature-length documentary for Paramount Plus, called Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, and his family had been slated to star in a new BBC reality show called Home To Roost. The close pal admitted that Osbourne was 'looking forward to promoting' his memoir later this year, and found the whole process to be 'quite therapeutic and fun.' 'He was a born entertainer and he overcame so much in his final years alive with his neck, back and leg pains – as well as the Parkinson's – to be his best on TV, radio and stage,' they said. At the age of 76, Osbourne's fear of retiring into obscurity was what kept him in the spotlight for so many decades, even during years of scandal and drug abuse. According to the close pal, the Crazy Train singer was 'haunted' by the death of his father, John Thomas 'Jack' Osbourne, who had passed away in 1977 shortly after his own retirement. Osbourne grew up in a working-class family in Aston, an area in Birmingham, England, along with his five siblings. His mother, Lilian, worked at a Lucas automotive factory assembling car components, while his dad worked night shifts as a toolmaker at the General Electric Company. The insider revealed that John had 'dedicated his life' to working nights at the General Electric Company, so much so that when he had finally retired, Osbourne's father 'dropped dead' just a few days later. 'All his dad told the family was about doing some gardening,' they recalled. 'He went out and dug up the garden for a few days and then dropped dead, just like that. 'Ozzy felt that as hard as his workload was, John kind of had that purpose of going to work to provide for his family and have a role. And when it was absent, it kind of left him lost.' In an interview with Record Mirror in 1978, while promoting the Black Sabbath album Never Say Die, Osbourne shared that the third track of the record, called Junior's Eyes, was a tribute to his father. The musician strangely saw his father's death as a sign to keep making music and feeling the support from his fans, who the source described as his 'super power'. 'Ozzy hated the thought of just withering away and stopping altogether,' they added. The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Osbourne for comment. Osbourne's family announced his death in a statement shared on Tuesday. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' the statement read. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' The rocker was joined by his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005, as he bid an emotional farewell to his fans during his last show ever. 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech. The singer, who sold more than 100 million records, formed Black Sabbath in Birmingham in 1968. With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbath's pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his 'subliminal satanic influence'. Osbourne's most infamous moment came when he bit the head off a bat that had been thrown on stage during a solo performance. He later claimed he thought it was made of rubber. After being thrown out of the band in 1979 due to his drug-fueled antics, Osbourne forged a hugely successful solo career, with hits that included Crazy Train and Hellraiser. But his hellraising off stage continued. In 1989 he attempted to kill Sharon while high on drugs, and seven years before that he urinated on the treasured Alamo Cenotaph in Texas, an act that saw him banned from San Antonio for a decade. He was also injured in a quad bike crash at his UK home in 2003, an episode that had a serious impact on his fragile health. Yet there was also redemption for the troubled singer, who relaunched himself as a reality tv star in The Osbournes in the early 2000s, after getting clean from alcohol and drugs with the help of Sharon. There was a return too to Black Sabbath in 1997, when the original line-up reunited. Tributes have been pouring in for the superstar following his family's announcement of his death. Fellow musicians Sir Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, and Gene Simmons have all shared social media tributes for the star, as well as John Lennon's son Sean Ono Lennon and American rapper Ice-T.

Jess Glynne and girlfriend Alex Scott look ecstatic as they celebrate Lionesses' win - before singer takes to the stage at BOXPark Wembley

Jess Glynne and her girlfriend Alex Scott looked overjoyed as they celebrated the Lionesses' victory in the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 semi-final on Tuesday. The singer, 35, and the former footballer, 40, joined fans at BOXPARK Wembley to watch a live screening of the match. The couple couldn't hide their excitement as Alex's former team triumphed over Italy with a 2-1 win in Geneva, securing their place in the Euro 2025 final. At one point, Alex threw her arm into the air in celebration, while Jess, standing close beside her, beamed from ear to ear. To mark the big victory, Alex welcomed Jess to the stage for a high-energy performance. Wearing an England football shirt, the star looked incredible as she lit up the venue with her electric set. Alex and Jess began dating around October 2023. They kept their relationship private for months however, with Alex later admitting that they chose to do so because they knew it was 'special'. Writing in The Times, the BBC pundit opened up on her relationship, saying her and Jess are becoming the 'same person'. Detailing her daily routine, she wrote: 'I wake up next to my partner, Jess, who has become the same person as me over the past year and a half. 'She can see what going to the gym does for me mentally, so she'll do the same'. It was rumoured last month that the couple are considering moving across the pond to the United States. As reported by The Sun, Alex is said to be 'considering other offers' after experiencing a 'lack of support' with Football Focus on the BBC. The controversy came surrounding plummeting viewing figures, which left Alex reportedly feeling like she had been 'thrown under a bus' by the broadcaster. A source said: 'Last year [Alex] was hugely hurt by unfair criticism about falling viewing figures - and felt she was thrown under a bus. 'The viewing figures were not as reported. She feels no-one backed her up and issued the correct viewing figures.' The presenter's contract with the BBC is reported to be up for renewal this summer. Meanwhile Jess parted ways with her record label EMI last month after her April 2024 album, Jess, crashed out of the charts after just one week. A source told The Sun: 'Jess knows plenty about having massive hit singles, so there was a lot of excitement when she signed her deal with EMI Records. But it's not exactly been the fruitful relationship that either had hoped. 'The album didn't do as well as anyone wanted, and none of the singles even graced the Top 40 She's had a tough time reintroducing herself to the public after a few years away. Before adding: 'Both she and the label decided it was for the best to stop working together. But Jess isn't letting it dampen her spirits. She is already working on new music and is planning her next moves.'
