Megan McKenna shows off her baby bump as she tucks into pasta on a beach
PREGNANT Megan McKenna flashed her growing bump on the beach as she continued to enjoy her sun-soaked babymoon.
The former TOWIE star, 31, looked glowing as she went make-up free, pulling her brunette locks into a bun under her baseball cap.
Megan donned a matching black bikini which showed off her changing figure and gold hoop earrings as she perched on a sun lounger with a bowl of pasta.
She told fans her video was a “lunchtime catch up” as she tucked into the Arrabbiata dish in the sizzling Dubai heat.
In her caption, she wrote: “Lunch time catch up, sleep insomnia & what we miss eating from home… also date night at a cute french restaurant.”
She added parmesan to her lunch and joked: “I am going to look like a piece of Arrabbiata if I carry on eating like this.”
Later on she pulled out a bowl of chips and quipped: “Fries again,” with her footballer fiance Oliver Burke, 27, in the background saying: “What a shock!
“Something new Meg?”
She then added: “We love being away but we love home cooked food.
“We do miss our – my – food, don’t we?”
Megan’s grub – often documented on her social media – has been a talking point for fans.
Some cruel trolls recently slammed her portion sizes in brutal comments online.
Others told how her “death row meal” would make them “heave.”
FAN FEAR
Additionally, while on her babymoon, some fans wrongly flagged concern when she tucked into a prawn dish.
They deemed the food “unsafe” for the star – who is expecting her first baby.
Megan held a prawn to the camera before munching it down in a snap which saw one fan write in the comments section: “Don’t they day not to eat seafood when pregnant ie prawns etc.”

Another mused: “Not really meant to eat any kind of fish food or eggs.”
The NHS website states that expectant mums can eat cooked fish and seafood, so Megan was doing the right thing.
The website adds: “You should avoid raw shellfish because they can have harmful bacteria, viruses or toxins in them. These can make you unwell and give you food poisoning.
“You should avoid ready-to-eat cold-smoked or cured fish because it could be contaminated with listeria bacteria.”
TOUGH TIMES
Megan has also suffered from bouts of ill health during her first maternity journey.
In her new video, she opened up on her sleep insomnia.
The TV star asked followers: “Anybody else get sleep insomnia when pregnant, because I am really suffering from it.”

Megan also suffered another allergic reaction which saw her stomach also double in size.
The country singer was also left bedridden as she admitted she was “in so much pain.”
