'IT WAS AS EXTRAVAGANT AS A WEDDING!'

Taylor Ward threw the baby shower to rival all baby showers last week, as she celebrated her first pregnancy with footballer Riyad Mahrez.

The 24-year-old hosted the bash at the ritzy Colony venue in Wilmslow, Cheshire, surrounded by their friends and family and a few celeb pals.

The glamorous event had a VIP list of 60 guests, including her mum and former The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Dawn and dad Ashley, while reality star Charlotte Dawson popped by with her son Noah.

On Riyad's side, his two daughters Ayla and Inaya from his previous marriage wore matching dresses for the occasion, and a host of his Manchester City teammates were there celebrating with their families.

Speaking exclusively to OK! after the event, Taylor - who recently revealed she's expecting a baby girl - tells us, "It felt just as extravagant as a wedding!

"It was an amazing day - I'm only just getting the chance now to sit back and reflect on it all. Everything was perfect from the décor to the atmosphere, and we even got the sunshine. It was so lovely to spend the day with all the people we love to celebrate us having a baby girl."

The model sought help from luxury event company Chic PR, who organised the beautiful decorations which included a giant balloon display, floating candles, and floral ceilings, in a super tight schedule of just two weeks.

Guests dined on hot canapés including mini chicken tenders, nacho bowls, and mini fish and chips on arrival and sipped on bespoke cocktails named Mahrez Mojitos, Call The Midwife Cosmos, and Baby Belinis.
