KATE Ferdinand said it was impossible to hide her pregnancy from husband Rio’s teenage kids after they began to spot clues.
The former reality star – who is currently expecting her second baby with footballer Rio – said her stepson Tate, 14, cottoned on that she was pregnant around four weeks ago.

The youngster pulled Kate, 31, up on it and asked her if she was having a baby, but the Essex star denied it.
Kate has since explained that she was cautious about telling the kids too early following her devastating miscarriage last July.
“Tate sat us down about four weeks before at the dinner table, I think Rio was at the World Cup, and he said, ‘I’ve got an announcement to make. I know you’re pregnant,” Kate revealed on the Blended Podcast.
“I was flustered and at this stage I still didn’t want to tell the kids just in case.
“So I went, ‘You don’t know I’m pregnant, because I’m not pregnant.’ I feel like from that moment on he’s been on me.”
Her eagle-eyed stepkids Tate, Lorenz, 16, and 12-year-old Tia quickly noticed changes in Kate’s behaviour – including less frequent gym sessions, no alcohol and different food habits.
Kate said she was also began to wear oversized clothes to hide her growing bump.
“The kids know the symptoms from the last pregnancy. I go off my fish and certain foods,” she continued.
“Every time I eat a jacket potato, because I’m obsessed with jacket potatoes in pregnancy, I get glances across the room. Anyway, the kids know and we’re all really excited.
“I think a lot of you knew because I’ve been getting a lot of messages saying, ‘Definitely pregnant, she’s not going to the gym as much,’ and you’re right. But I didn’t want to announce it too early.
