Ched Evans' fiancée Natasha Massey reveals she is heavily pregnant with her second child as she displays prominent bump on shopping spree 

Ched Evans' fiancée, Natasha Massey, revealed she is heavily pregnant with her second child as she displayed her prominent bump while shopping on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old, who already has one child with the sportsman, was pictured leaving the Hooper's department store in Wilmslow in Cheshire holding a little Dior bag.

Her bump was clear to see in a black form-fitting dress, worn under a leather jacket -  and she was solo on the trip. 

Natasha looked happy on the trip as she headed to her next destination wearing expensive Gucci sliders.

Ched and Natasha have kept a fairly low profile of late and were last pictured together out in Alderley Edge, in September, along with their son, Flynn, two. 

Evans was convicted of raping a woman at a hotel in Wales in 2011, but was cleared after a high-profile retrial last year.

Ms Massey stood by the former Welsh international throughout his jail term and long legal battle, despite Evans being unfaithful.

Evans was arrested after having 'threesome' sex with his accuser and fellow player Clayton McDonald, in May 2011.

The woman told police she was too drunk to know what was happening or who she was with.

He admitted having intercourse with the woman but said she consented and invited him to join her and McDonald, who was acquitted at Evans's first trial. 

The footballer, who has now resigned for Sheffield United in the Championship, was convicted of the rape and sentenced to five years in prison, serving half.

Ched said last year: 'Since the not guilty verdict even the abuse from the crowds has died down. 

'I think most people now realise I just want to get on with my career, although you do get the odd shout which is fine. Being at a football match can do funny things to people.'

On his release a retrial was ordered in the case and his legal team were allowed to take the extraordinary step of questioning the complainant's other sexual partners in court. 

Massey always protested her partner's innocence, even when he had been convicted of the crime.

Her family bankrolled the striker's legal battle, with their support eventually helping him clear his name.

Reflecting on the moment Evans was charged, she told the Telegraph: 'I threw up.

'I was so shocked I was physically sick. I couldn't stop crying and shaking.'

She added: 'He couldn't. I mean the only people who think Ched is a rapist are people who haven't met him. He's a big softie.'

Evans returned to football after signing for League One outfit Chesterfield, but made the move to Sheffield United in May this year.

His first spell at the Yorkshire club was the most successful period of his career, scoring 48 times in 113 games, from 2009-12.
