The star looked radiant as she donned a pale stone coloured dress for the shoot, which served to highlight her growing baby bump.
Millie perched on a sofa alongside her mum Georgina who stretched out next to her daughter.
Millie beamed with happiness as she displayed the brand new animal-themed nursery in the home she moved into with Hugo a mere six weeks ago.
The adorable room sees an entire wall covered with animal wallpaper featuring a giraffe, an elephant and a flamingo in a jungle setting.

The theme continues as dotted around are plush animal toys, while a book-shelf sits ready with a colourful array of books and accessories.
And it appears that Millie is keen for her daughter to follow in her fashionable footsteps as she already has a selection of pretty outfits ready for the lucky tot.
The TV personality told how she’s keen to spend as much time as possible with her bundle of joy and won’t be returning to work just yet.
She told the publication: ‘I want to take time out from the outside world to focus on that special time to just bond with her and spend time as a family, and try to figure it out. But I know that life will change massively once she arrives. You can only prepare so much!’

Millie’s husband Hugo, 33, has of course been supportive, so much so that Millie revealed he’d been having pregnancy symptoms.
She explained: ‘Hugo has actually started to have really vivid dreams so he’s picking up on pregnancy symptoms just from being around me. He’s also had back pain – but that’s more to do with helping lift me up from the sofa!’
She went on to say that the pregnancy has brought the pair closer together and that the duo talk to the baby, though she says it’s ‘harder for guys’.
With the loved-up couple about to embark on their first foray into parenthood, it seems Millie is more appreciative of her mother than ever.
She said of Georgina: ‘My mum has been great, and is a sounding board when I’m having a moment of worry. She’s so wise and has been giving me lots of advice.’
It comes as Millie recently revealed she was ‘starting to feel the strain’ as she enters the third trimester of her pregnancy.

Millie explained she is suffering from constant heartburn and struggling to sleep as her body adjusts to the final three months of carrying her ‘precious baby’.
The wellness enthusiast said her feet are ‘aching so much she can only wear slippers or trainers’ and revealed she’s even struggling to walk at times after experiencing a ‘flare up of pelvic girdle pain’.
She wrote: ‘Pregnancy update – Entering the third trimester and oh boy is my body starting to feel the strain of carrying this precious baby around.
‘My feet are aching so much I can only wear slippers or trainers. Hugo even suggested crocs to wear around the house! (not sure I’m there just yet!).
Mum’s the word: ‘My mum has been great, and is a sounding board when I’m having a moment of worry. She’s so wise and has been giving me lots of advice’
‘The heart burn is pretty constant and I’m REALLY struggling with sleep (3am wake up calls are no fun), it’s just so hard to get comfortable!
‘More recently I’ve been experiencing a flare up of pelvic girdle pain which makes it painful to walk sometimes…..???? No wonder I’ve been feeling super emotional.’ (sic)
Millie told her Instagram followers she is trying to keep moving, while enjoying plenty of ‘down time’ and reminding herself to put her feet up ahead of the arrival of her baby girl in May.
She added: ‘I’m aware it’s important to keep moving in your third trimester so I have my physio advising on my exercise, as movement will make me feel better both physically, mentally and emotionally.
