She recently enjoyed a family getaway to a sunny location with her husband Rio Ferdinand and her step children Lorenz, 14, Tate, 11, and nine-year-old Tia.

And Kate Ferdinand was back to the grind as she returned to the UK to take part in a maternity gymwear photoshoot with Dare 2b – her first since lockdown and being pregnant – on Tuesday.

The former TOWIE star, 29, looked as radiant as ever in a sporty crop top and matching leggings as she shared behind-the-scenes clips to Instagram.

With her tresses worn in loose waves, Kate complemented her beauty with dewy, neutral-toned make-up. 

As well as reposting videos from her stylist Ellis Ranson’s platform, the TV star wrote: ‘First shoot since lockdown…. and being [pregnant emoji]. Mat gymwear coming soon @dare2b_sports.’ (sic)

Her shoot came after Kate and former footballer Rio, 41, reportedly splashed out £40,000 on a pair of highly-trained dogs to protect their home.

The celebrity couple are said to want extra security at their mansion for their growing family.

They reportedly enlisted the help of a special protection dog company, Chaperone K9, to buy the pair of black German shepherds.

A source told The Sun: ‘One is already at their home, and the second will be joining shortly. 

‘The couple already have a dog – Kate’s chihuahua – but Rio will enjoy walking these pair a lot more!

 ‘They are incredible family dogs and will protect them like nothing else – everyone has one these days and who can blame them after everything that’s happened with the other footballers. Rio is taking no chances!’
