Lauren Pope ‘overwhelmed’ as due date approaches

Lauren Pope is "overwhelmed" as her due date gets closer.

The pregnant 37-year-old TV star – who quit ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ in 2019 – is weeks away from welcoming her first child with millionaire boyfriend Tony Keterman, but feels she is running out of time to prepare everything before the baby arrives.

She wrote on her Instagram account: "Only 4 weeks to go & still not packed my hospital bag, nursery is full of unmade furniture & empty boxes & still not finished my birthing plan

"My challenge to myself is to have all the above done by Friday!! Anyone else due soon & feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all?! (sic)"

Meanwhile, the former ‘TOWIE’ star previously admitted she quit the reality show after nine years to focus on her relationship with Tony and her own business ventures.

She said at the time: "After an amazing nine years on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ I have decided that now is the natural time for me to leave.

"I am incredibly thankful for the opportunities that the show has brought my way and have loved being part of the cast.

"On top of that, Lime [Pictures, who make the show] have become an extended family to me and I’ll be forever grateful for their guidance and support over the years.

"Nonetheless, I feel now is the time for me to move on so I can focus my attention wholeheartedly on my business ventures and personal relationship."

She later announced her pregnancy in March alongside a series of Polaroid snaps of her growing baby bump and wrote: "Pure Happiness [love heart emojis] (sic)"

In one of the photographs, Tony can be seen kissing Lauren’s baby bump, and in another, she is seen cradling her stomach.
