Rhian Sugden has posed topless as she prepares to welcome her first child.

The former page 3 model has been open with her followers on her journey to motherhood and her intense battles with IVF. Rhian, 37, is preparing to give birth to her first child with Coronation Street actor Oliver Mellor, 43. But now, Manchester-born Rhian has stripped off in order to celebrate her journey to motherhood.

Taking to her Instagram, she shared a snap posing completely topless with her arms behind her head as she posed for a belly print of her blossoming baby bump. Posing in just her knickers, Rhian was flowing as she opted for minimal make-up, apart from a touch of blusher on her rosy cheeks as she held her caramel tresses up.

Rhian posed in the centre of a room while professionals measured her bump for the moulding. Announcing her pregnancy last year, she said that "good things come to those who wait". Previously, the model has endured several rounds of IVF treatment as well as seven unsuccessful attempts to become pregnant.

Both Rhian and Oliver spent an eyewatering £150,000 on their IVF treatment, which she funded through her lucrative OnlyFans page. But she had been attacked by mum-shamers for using the money from her racy snaps to help her become a mum. Speaking previously to the Mirror, Rhian said in August last year she had no idea what the future looked like.

She commented: "Once you start talking about it loads of people get in touch which is quite nice because I've formed a little community of friends and we're all the same position. I've never met them in real life but we speak all the time on WhatsApp so that's quite nice.

"Eighth time lucky hopefully – that's why I've got OnlyFans, it's expensive, it's like £15,000 per go. We had one round free with the NHS but, the other seven, not so much. In the same breath, people will mum-shame me so to speak, even though I'm not a mum for being on OnlyFans," she revealed before adding: "Well if I'm not working, I can't afford this because it's extortionate.

"I feel lucky to be in a position where I can earn the money to pay for stuff like this. I'm not flashy, I don't drive around in a Range Rover or anything, my money is solely going on IVF at the moment." Rhian went on to tell another publication that her husband Oliver "thinks it's a bizarre concept that all these men will pay to see his wife's boobs, and he gets the benefits of IVF."
