Ulrika Jonsson and Sophie Raworth take their baby bumps out

Pregnant TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and BBC News presenter Sophie Raworth - who is also in the family way - showed off their baby bumps at the premiere of Varekai by Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall last night.

But that's where the similarities ended, as the two women opted for very different maternity dresses.

Ulrika went for the comfort factor in Ugg-style boots, leggings and a huge blanket-style cardigan as she arrived with daughter Bo.

While news presenter Sophie looked stylish in a pair of knee-high boots, a tight black dress, and a chic sheepskin-lined coat.

The heavily pregnant women were among the star-studded audience which was wowed by contortionists, jugglers and acrobats performing mind-boggling stunts at Cirque du Soleil's latest production.

A happy-looking Ulrika appeared to have brushed off the unflattering comments levelled at her when she announced she was expecting her fourth child by a fourth father, fiance Brian Monet.

Miss Jonsson has a 13-year-old son, Cameron, by ex-husband John Turnbull, a daughter, Bo, by German hotelier Markus Kempen who is seven, and three-year-old Martha from her two-year marriage to Lance Gerrard-Wright

And she recently hit back at her detractors, after being unflatteringly labelled the "4X4" for expecting her fourth child by Mr Monet.

In a magazine interview, the 40-year-old former weather girl said: "There are plenty of men out there who have children, abandon them and have nothing to do with them.

"I understand the criticism but I find it interesting that it is solely directed at me.

"I am fully responsible for my children and they are my testament. I have created three brilliant, lovely, level-headed and loving children," she said.

News presenter Sophie is expecting her third child next month with husband Richard. They already have 2 daughters, Ella and Georgia.
