British Grammy-winning singer Adele is reportedly due to give birth in September.
The 24-year-old chart-topper announced that she and boyfriend Simon Konecki are expecting their first child together last month.
"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," she wrote on her official blog at the time.
"I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time."

But if a new report is to believed, the Rolling in the Deep singer could be a lot more pregnant than we thought.
According to heatworld.com, Adele could be giving birth in as little as two months.
In a "world exclusive," the website claims the singer is said to have kept her pregnancy secret long before making an announcement on June 29 - by keeping a low profile and wearing baggy clothes.
"Adele has barely left the house in recent months, so she could keep this to herself for as long as possible," dished a source.
The insider added: "She stopped exercising a few months ago, and since then it's been all about the baby."

As supporting 'evidence', the report adds that the fact she didn't fly to America for the Billboard awards in May, even though she won 12 trophies, is an indication of how far gone she is.
The site also reports that when she attended the Ivor Novello awards a week later, she wore a loose-fitting dress that could have easily concealed a burgeoning baby bump.
