Outlandish celebrity pregnancy announcements
1 of 111) Cheryl
Cheryl kept her pregnancy quiet for a pretty long time, despite constant speculation that she was having a baby with One Direction star Liam Payne. Cheryl eventually broke the news in the best way - on Instagram she finally revealed a full body shot from the L'Oreal campaign that fans had previously only seen sneak peeks of.
On the post, Cheryl didn't even mention the elephant/baby bump in the room, writing: "I am proud to announce that I am one of fifteen ambassadors working with @PrincesTrust & LOreal Paris UK to help thousands of young people turn self-doubt into self-worth. The "All Worth It" Confidence training program starts now! Link in my bio👆🏼 #ALLWORTHIT#PRINCESTRUSTLOREAL" —@cherylcole
2 of 112) Beyonce
Beyonce has stunned the world with pregnancy announcements more than once in true Bey fashion! When Beyonce was pregnant with Blue Ivy, during a memorable MTV Video Music Awards performance she unbuttoned a sparkly blazer to reveal her baby bump. The camera panned to JAY-Z in the audience who received a big hug from fellow rapper Kanye West. Does it get any more showbiz?
Not one to be outdone, even by herself, Beyonce did an even more amazing pregnancy reveal the second time. Sharing a beautiful mother-nature-style shot of her on Instagram with a blossoming bump she announced she was pregnant with twins Rumi and Sir. The photo immediately became the most-liked photo on Insta - since then it's been overtaken several times and the title is now held by... an egg.

She also added, "We have been trying to keep this pregnancy under the radar for as long as possible but I’m a poppin now! And it’s too darn challenging to hide, and frankly hiding is more exhausting then just coming out with it! My kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited! A little girl on the way 💕"
