Cradling her stomach, Chanelle Hayes looked every inch the proud mother-to-be.

In a flattering loose nude top, with black band over the stomach, the beginnings of her baby bump could just be seen.

The four-and-a-half months pregnant glamour model was enjoying an evening out with friends in London last night.

Proud mother-to-be: Chanelle Hayes protectively cradled her baby bump as she headed out to dinner at Nobu in London last night

They started with a quiet dinner at Nobu, before heading to the Groucho Club.

The former Big Brother contestant is preparing to bring up her first child alone, following her spilt from the father, Middlesbrough footballer Matthew Bates.

The 22-year-old fell pregnant months after she'd attempted suicide after a blazing row with her then-boyfriend.

Now fully recovered from her overdose, Chanelle is excited about her baby.

'I wasn't ever planning to get pregnant, but I've been learning everything about what to do and just trying to enjoy it - even the bizarre bits, like food smells suddenly making me feel sick, and my fizzy cola bottle cravings,' she said.

But while Chanelle is looking forward to being a mother, she says her former boyfriend found fatherhood hard to accept.

'I know it sounds strange but we haven’t talked really. I thought he needed time to think. I’ve kept him informed though, and let him know when I’m having scans.'
