Leigh-Anne Pinnock Responds to Body-Shaming Trolls

Pregnant singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock has addressed online trolls who have criticized her for displaying her baby bump. In a recent Instagram post, Pinnock shared a video of herself dancing in her walk-in wardrobe, showcasing her pregnancy curves in a blue striped bralette and matching shorts.

She accompanied the clip with a snippet of her new song, singing, "Throw your dumb opinions, at the window, I don't want to know." Pinnock captioned the post, "When embracing your baby bump makes people feel uncomfortable," and further urged followers to "Throw your dumb opinions out the window... free the bump."

The Little Mix member, who is expecting her third child with footballer Andre Gray, previously drew attention at London Fashion Week. During the Di Petsa show, her white bralette sprayed water like a fountain, causing a stir among the audience as she walked the catwalk.

Pinnock, who is already a mother to five-year-old twins, has spoken about her pregnancy, noting that her hormones are "all over the place" as her due date approaches. In a July announcement video, she expressed excitement about the expanding family, writing, "As one chapter ends, another begins."

Her former bandmates, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, shared their joy at the pregnancy news. Pinnock married Andre Gray in June 2023. She has also openly discussed past relationship challenges, including a period of betrayal with Gray, but noted that they worked through their issues with his commitment to therapy and personal change, leading to what she describes as a "really beautiful place" in their relationship.
