Wearing an orange and deep blue floaty dress, she proudly cradled her blossoming baby bump.

She was joined by loved ones at The Ivy in Manchester, telling her 400k followers that she "felt very lucky".

Posing with two Drag Queens on her special day, Rhian wrote: "Everyone books Drag Queens for their babyshower right?

"The best day celebrating Baby Mellor with my favourite humans... feeling very lucky and happy to be lay down right about now."

Fans flocked to the comment section, with one writing: "Only you could pull off pleats and a waist belt while pregnant," adding a fire emoji.

"Beautiful! Love the dress," another wrote.

Another praised her unusual take on a baby shower, writing: "perfect - how original," with a heart-eye emoji.

One of the Drag Queens replied: "It was an absolute pleasure girl and you looked absoloutly FLAWLESS .... So gorgoues (sic)"

Her honey-blonde hair was curled loosely and she showed off her natural beauty with a soft palette of makeup.

Rhian and Oliver previously revealed that they were expecting their first child, who is due in May.

Rhian, 37, recently detailed her fertility story with The Sun, stating: “We spent just under £150,000 on IVF. It feels like we were trying for a baby forever.

“This was going to be our last round. We’d spent so much and were going to look at other options, like surrogacy.”

She added: “I’ve got good boobs and I’m not ashamed of OnlyFans.

“I’ve made more money on OnlyFans than I have in my whole career.

“There are so many topless pictures of me out there, and I thought why not. I was earning a few thousand a day.

“Ollie thinks it’s a bizarre concept that all these men will pay money to see his wife’s boobs, and he gets the benefits of IVF."

She recently spoke about how she'd previously found Mother's Day extremely difficult as the celebration reminded her of her struggles to become a mum.

The influencer said that "everything was a trigger" and dreaded the holiday every year.

But she said the impending arrival of her son had made her "the happiest she'd ever been".

Sharing a photo of her crying beside a photo of her holding her bump, she wrote: "What a difference a year can make. For the past 6 years I dreaded Mother’s Day as the cruel reality sunk in more and more that IVF wasn’t working for me. 

"My dream to be a mum dwindled. I’d get so upset seeing beautiful families being posted, breakfast in bed for mums, everything was a trigger! All the wonderful stuff that should be celebrated used to get me so down.

"My life finally feels complete. I honestly never thought I’d know what it would be like to carry a life. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. (Until I’m stuck on the floor or in the bath needing a hoist).

"12 months later and 8 rounds of IVF deep… a miracle happened and my little boy is breakdancing in my belly"

She added: "Happy 1st Mother's Day TO ME!!"

Speaking to Closer, she said that she and Oliver were "over the moon" at the news that they were having a baby boy.

"It was always my dream to have a little boy, I don’t know why but I’ve always imagined having a mini football team. 

"Oliver never said what he wanted, but when we found out it was a boy, he had the biggest smile on his face. 

"We’ve already decorated the nursery and chosen a few names – we like Tommy and George so far."
