Another said: “Glowing so radiant pregnancy suits you,” while a third wrote: “You have a radiant maternal glow! Congratulations.”
Earlier this week, Rachel teased her baby’s gender in a sweet photo with dancer Pasha.
The newlyweds posed outside Spain’s Guggenheim art museum and Rachel told fans her bump was “brewing nicely”.
She captioned the photo, which showed Pasha with his arm around Rachel as she stood with her hand on his chest: “Half-way bump and all brewing nicely! Mother’s intuition says it’s definitely a girl. Or a boy. Or a cockapoo…”
Earlier this month, Rachel announced she and Pasha had secretly married.
She took to Instagram to declare herself “Mrs Kovalev” as she and Pasha stood in front of a flower carousel and the blonde beauty held a bouquet of red and white roses.
She captioned the post: “Introducing the new Mr and Mrs Kovalev, We both said yes.”
According to The Sun Online, the couple – who met on Strictly in 2013 – wanted to keep their nuptials low-key and reportedly kept the ceremony from most of their close friends and family.
A source told the publication: “They wanted to ensure it was just the two of them and everything was kept as quiet as possible.

“By keeping everything a closely guarded secret, they pulled it off and surprised their loved ones. Naturally, everyone is delighted.”
