Brigitte announced she was pregnant with her fifth child just last month on Instagram. The Red Sonja posted a photograph of herself dressed in a white and cradling her large baby bump.

She simply captioned her shot, “Family getting larger”.

The heavily pregnant mum-of-four followed up her first post with a second baby bump photo posing serenely in a white T-shirt dress, sunglasses and a chic scarf draped around her neck. She captioned her post “Happy times. Positive vibes.”

The pregnancy announcement came as a shock to fans who hadn’t spotted a baby bump in the lead up to the exciting announcement.
