On Monday, Perrie Edwards announced her pregnancy with boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and sent the internet into a tailspin as the second pregnant Little Mixer in under a week!

Leigh-Anne Pinnock was the first to announce that she and Andre Gray were expecting, with her bandmate of 10 years soon to follow suit.

Eagle-eyed Mixers were no doubt suspicious of Perrie Edwards' noticeably bare socials in the months before her pregnancy shoot and baby bump reveal.

Let’s take a look at how Leigh-Anne and Perrie managed to keep their incredible baby news under wraps for so long...

Little Mix open up about Jesy Nelson leaving the band

Little Mix have been donning baggy clothing in solidarity as two of the members hid their exciting news during press appearances – they even swung by the Capital studios in coordinating silhouettes to discuss upcoming projects and Jesy Nelson's departure from the group.

The girl group can be seen sporting stylishly oversized ensembles in the ‘Confetti’ music video, and since hearing the news fans have been quick to note differences in the group's choreography in the smash hit video.

As always the girls pull out all the stops in the electric video, styling out the less demanding dance moves with audiences none the wiser about the incoming announcements - who could have guessed!

The coordinating 'Confetti' costumes were skilfully designed to distract from Perrie and Leigh-Anne's growing bumps whilst also keeping the usual flare to the girls' wardrobes that fans have come to know and love.

In the meantime, hopefully we can look forward to hearing more baby-related news in the months to come!
