Proud parents-to-be: Natalie Cassidy and boyfriend Adam Cottrell gaze at her pregnancy bump as they sail round Venice in a gondola


She's set to give birth to her first baby in a few months time and start filming her reality TV show in the next few weeks.

So Natalie Cassidy made the most of her free time this week as she enjoyed a romantic break in Venice with her boyfriend Adam Cottrell.

And she proudly showed off her burgeoning pregnancy bump as they sailed round the Italian city on a gondola this morning.

The actress, 26, spent most of the time beaming at her boyfriend, as the couple sailed round the city, snuggling up close and stroking her stomach.

They walked hand-in-hand through the Venician streets taking in the sights, stopping every now and then to kiss each other.

But the actress may be in for a shock when she finally returns home to the UK, after her car was clamped near her home today.
