The things that go bump on the red carpet

WHAT on earth has Meghan started? Pregnant model Abbey Clancy (above) was photographed clinging onto her baby bump on the Brits red carpet, as if she were clutching an imaginary glass fridge full of ice sculptures. Soap star Gemma Atkinson did the same thing, while partner Gorka Marquez gurned alongside. This ostentatious bumphugging never used to happen. However, a friend told me: ‘It’s nothing new. I did it without realising I was doing it because it is just a mother’s reaction to let baby know you are there. Especially if it is kicking.’ Hmm. However, is it an entirely natural response while posing sexily on the red carpet in a thigh-high, split, sequinned dress? Abbey seems to think so. Some babies do have ’em!
