Michelle Heaton and Angellica Bell both dazzled in white as they showed off their baby bumps at the Comfort Prima Awards tonight.

The pregnant pair opted for different style dresses but both looked glowing as they posed on the red carpet.

Michelle, 31, who is expecting her first child with husband Hugh Hanley, told the MailOnline that she loves being pregnant.

She said: 'I'm so excited. I'm five months pregnant and love it. I haven't felt bad or really suffered during my pregnancy.'

She added: 'I just hope my baby is healthy so I don't mind what it is. I would like one of each but we will see how this goes.'

She showed off her pregnancy curves in a clingy and short asymmetric dress and was extremely body confident despite her changing shape.

The Liberty X singer, who announced her pregnancy in June, said: 'I don't mind that my body has changed because a baby is growing inside me and that is amazing!'

Expecting: Michelle, pictured with husband Hugh Hanley said she is 'loving' being pregnant.

Meanwhile TV presenter Angellica opted for a demure long-sleeved lace dress to display her bump.

The 35-year-old kept comfortable by taking her shoes off for the event.

And she revealed that her baby was conceived with husband Michael Underwood when she returned from filming her show 71 Degrees North, which starts on Tuesday.

She told MailOnline: 'I hadn't spoken to Michael for a month and when I got back I couldn't wait to get my hands on him.'

She added: 'I'm six months pregnant. I'm really excited, it's so amazing to be pregnant at all.'

Unlike Michelle, Angellica has experienced some difficulty in her pregnancy. She said: 'It was really tough the first couple of weeks - the nausea kicked in. But now it's fine. I love it.'

And despite a battle of the bumps on the red carpet Michelle and Angellica are in fact firm friends, who have been turning to each other for advice. Angellica said: 'I'm talking to Michelle Heaton a lot about it.'

They were joined on the red carpet by a host of other female celebrites including Eastenders actress Michelle Collins, former Loose Woman Andrea McLean, Big Brother winner Josie Gibson, and TOWIE stars Lauren Goodger and Lydia Bright.

Lauren, 24, spoke to MailOnline about her recent split from fiancé Mark Wright.

The reality star said: 'I am enjoying being single. We have so much going on and I'm loving going out with my girls.'

And she hinted that the third series of her hit ITV2 show will be reflecting this ethos.

She said: 'The first season was me crying, the second series was Lydia crying. The third series is all about the girls.'

Josie Gibson said she was surprised at the reaction to her recent weight loss, telling MailOnline: 'I don't even feel like I have lost weight. I am still a size sixteen.

'I'm not on a diet but it does make me think I must have looked like an absolute heffer.'
She tucked into the food and wine on offer at the awards ceremony and said she is 'really happy now', despite describing her ex-boyfriend and fellow Big Brother housemate John-James Parton as 'a little p****.'
The Bristol-born reality star, 26, also confessed that ultimately she hopes to open a bar in her hometown.

And former model and TV presenter Katie Piper, told MailOnline of her joy following last week's fundraiser for her charity, The Katie Piper Foundation, especially after the event was attended by the likes of Simon Cowell.
She said: 'I'm so happy with how the foundation is going and last week was so great with Simon coming, and we raised so much money.'
The Katie: My Beautiful Friends star added: 'I've just signed a two year deal with Channel Four and I'm looking at launching my own beauty range now for camouflage make-up.'

'I've put on a stone but I still feel beautiful': Liz McClarnon shows off her figure as she puts weight gain down to her new love

Posing in a swimsuit, Liz McClarnon looks confident, happy and healthy.

However, the former Atomic Kitten singer has revealed she has gained at least a stone after starting a new relationship with a man she refuses to identify.

Liz has gone from a size eight to around a 12, although she refuses to weigh herself, and says despite her new curves she still loves her body because her new man makes her feel beautiful.

She said: 'My boyfriend is really tall and I end up eating the same amount of food as him, so that’s why I’ve put on weight. I used to be a size 8 and now I’m probably a 12.

'But at least my boobs have grown and I really like them this size! They’re about a 34C/D and they shrink a cup size if I lose weight. Ideally, I’d like to be back to a size 10. I know I should exercise more, but it’s hard to find the time as I’m always so busy.'

'My boyfriend makes me feel beautiful and loves my body. I don’t mind walking around naked in front of him.'

Liz, who has been dating her new man for the past eight months, admitted she started gaining weight through her love of food, stemming from winning Celebrity Masterchef in 2008.

And despite losing a stone in December 2010, taking her from a size 10 to an eight, Liz says the weight has slowly crept back on.

She said: 'I hate weighing myself and haven’t done so since I was 9st and a size 8 when I did the Closer diet.'

Liz is now keen to shed the weight, and has been discussing the best ways of slimming down with her friend Michelle Heaton, the singer turned personal trainer who recently revealed she is expecting her first child.

She said: 'I recently saw my mate Michelle and she looks amazing. I told her I have too many wobbly bits and don’t like my upper thighs or muffin top.

'She said if I wasn’t happy, I should cut out white carbs and substitute brown ones. So I’m going to eat sweet potatoes and brown rice, which she said would make me feel less sluggish.

'Fad diets don’t work for me. I’ve tried the no-carbs thing, but only lasted for three days. It’s just a case of eating sensibly and exercising.'

And while Liz looks incredible in the Closer magazine shoot, she told the publication she hates being called 'sexy'.

She laughed: 'When I was in Atomic Kitten, we had to stop doing the lads’ mags because I looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights in the photos! I’m not really a sexy person. I’m the girl next door and that’s how I like it.'

The full interview with Liz is in this week's Closer magazine, out now.
