This is the moment a mum-to-be gave her husband a taste of what it's like to be pregnant - by strapping a WATERMELON to his stomach.

Cheryl Moir, 36, was fuming after husband Colin, 35, accused her of "making up" the noises she made as she lifted herself off the sofa. She was nine months pregnant - and so bought a three kilo watermelon and demanded he tape it as well as a football around his waist.

Face-painter and kid's fitness instructor Cheryl said: "He first said 'no way!' but I told him he was boring and he gave in.

"He now realises all the noises I made were for real and not made up and the baby was ten pounds."

After his ordeal, Colin said "thank God I'm a man!" but gained a new sympathy for his heavily pregnant wife.
