Laura Whitmore was a standout at London Fashion Week on Thursday, appearing just one day after sharing the exciting news that she’s expecting another baby.

The 40-year-old TV presenter started her day at the Paul Costelloe fashion show, and later joined celebrities like Louise Redknapp and Anais Gallagher at the launch party for Topshop at John Lewis in London’s Piccadilly Lights.

Laura hid her growing baby bump with a fashionable brown leather jacket. She paired it with a swirling patterned dress that featured a bold, high slit.

Fifty-one-year-old Louise turned heads with a bold outfit featuring a see-through red lace skirt and a bomber jacket.

People are excited to see Topshop back in stores, after the brand spent five years selling only online.

Laura announced on Instagram Wednesday that she and her husband, Iain Stirling, are expecting their second child. It’s been a very exciting week for the couple!

She shared some photos of her baby bump with a playful message: ‘Instagram vs. Reality – Turns out it wasn’t just a big meal! There’s a little one on the way!’

‘I’d like to thank stretchy pants and travel sick bags.’

The couple has a daughter named Stevie Ré, born in March 2021. They generally keep their family life private and don’t often share photos of her.

The couple announced they were expecting a baby with a post from a sunny vacation. In one photo, the mom-to-be wore a cropped blue shirt, sunhat, and bikini bottoms, clearly showing off her growing belly.

I was so thrilled to see everyone showering her with congratulations on her amazing news! The comments on her post were just full of happy messages from all her loved ones – it was lovely to see.

Vick Hope and Gaby Roslin both congratulated Laura and her partner, sending their best wishes with warm messages.

Irish host Laura welcomed Stevie Ré in 2021 with her Love Island narrator husband Iain. 

After becoming a mother, Laura told The Standard she’s become concerned about the risks the internet poses to children.

She explained that becoming a parent really shifts what’s important to you and makes you more aware of certain issues.

‘This was something I also had to take self-care about as well. 

The rapid changes happening online worry me because I know I’ll eventually have to adapt to them, and I can’t prevent those changes from happening. This makes me particularly aware and reactive to things online.
