“Sorry I’ve been a little inactive it’s just Im so uncomfortable now
“Wanna keep you all updated as much as possible but struggling to even talk now lol.
“Thanks for all the constant support and messages love you all loads I’ll let you know when little one has made his arrival (sic)”
Marnie experienced some other strange side-effects during her pregnancy including a craving to eat bath sponges.
She previously said: “I’ve been craving bath sponges. I like sucking the water out of them.
Whilst a bemused Casey added: “It’s a weird craving. I actually have a video of her doing it.
“I literally bought her some sponges the other day but she said they weren’t the right ones, so I’ve got to let her buy her own now.”

Marnie announced her pregnancy in April and at the time, revealed she was due on October 16.
She told OK!: “Because I’d done Geordie Shore I’d convinced myself that I couldn’t have kids because of all the alcohol abuse.”
Marnie also feared she would be infertile after having an abortion when she was 19-years-old.
She added: “When I look back I definitely feel I made the right decision. I don’t regret it. I was so young, I didn’t have a job, a driving licence, or any money.”
