FORGET the wacky, hipster, bossy and bitchy housemates who entered their new Big Brother digs on the Gold Coast for the next few months. Pffft.

The back-to-front-baseball-cap, self-anointed Italian Stallion Travis, has nothing on one other very important cast member: Sonia’s Bump.

All eyes were on, and will continue to be on the burgeoning belly of Big Brother host Sonia Kruger, who announced two weeks ago she is pregnant with her first child.

Sonia, who turned 49 last week, was a picture of good health as she and her show stylist, Annabel von Tongeren, chose Adelaide designer Paolo Sebastian, to unveil a first ‘glam’ look featuring her pregnancy glow.

Paolo created a long, hot pink dress with lace panels down the sides and paired the gown with jewellery from Elizabeth Jean and mega high heels (always a Sonia fave) from Stuart Weitzman.

“We’ve had lots of designers inquiring about how they can ‘dress’ Sonia particularly at this special time but Sonia and her stylist Annabel and hair and make-up artist Mia Hawkswell will sort it all out,’’ said a Big Brother spokesman.

“Considering Sonia will be 35 weeks along by the finish of the show, it will certainly be fantastic to watch her blossom each week.’’

Tonight, Sonia is expected to wearing a gown from J’Aton, a favourite designer of many celebs including Dannii Minogue, Delta Goodrem, Megan Gale, Tara Moss and Holly Brisley.

And never fear, we’ll be on Kruger Bump-watch throughout the season.
