A mortified woman who was mistaken for an expecting mum says she was just bloated from an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Lauren Saddington had been indulging at an all inclusive resort in Ölüdeniz, Turkey, where she'd had three plates for lunch and dinner.
But she probably regretted it when she was approached by a brutally honest holidaymaker.

The 26-year-old podcast host recalled: “She says ‘Hasn’t your belly grown, it’s really big’.
"I’m stood there going ‘Oh I don’t know how to handle this’.
"And then she says ‘Well I just thought you were really pretty the first week I saw you and now your belly’s huge’.”
Lauren added: ”And then she went ‘You must be pregnant'?”
Many of us wouldn't know how to react if someone was so blunt about our size – but the Burnley lass decided to respond in a calm fashion.
She said: “There was sheer horror on my face because I didn’t know what she was getting to here.
"(I said) 'Do you know what, I hope you are mortified because I would never even ask someone if they were pregnant if I saw a massive bump on their belly'.
“Now, guys, I do look pregnant. I've eaten about 10 plates of food a day for two weeks.
"But you don't say that to someone. And if you do, you say, 'Are you pregnant?'"
After Lauren shared her story, commenters were quick to spring to her defence.
One said: "Wow I genuinely cannot believe someone had the audacity to even say that!"
Another wrote: "I think she must have been incredibly insecure and saw an in to tear another woman down.
”I’m so sorry, you’re beautiful with or without the bloat.”
And a third added: "Wow that is shocking. So sorry you had to deal with that, that’s just horrific, you’re beautiful.”
