Supermodel Lara Stone has opened up about her pregnancy and how it prevented her from getting a job.
The 30-year-old star, who is married to Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams, was three months pregnant when she found out her client replaced her with someone else.
"I was really upset at the time. I hadn't yet had my three-month scan and I felt really vulnerable about everything. I no longer had a job. That was it - I had to just stop everything that I knew; the way my life was," she told The Evening Standard.
The Dutch model went on to talk about what it was like returning to modelling after giving birth to her son, Alfred, last year.

''Once the baby was out I was like, 'What the hell is going on?' My arms don't fit into my sweaters," she added. "I couldn't get my jeans over my knees. I couldn't find a bra that fitted me. I had body dysmorphia but the wrong way round.''
However, Lara revealed the transition was not necessarily easy.
"I've had a few meetings because when they hear pregnancy they freak out a bit, so they need to see if I fit in their clothes. Everyone's so nice to you all the time," she said. "And it's like, 'Ugh, you don't have to be'. It feels quite alienating because it's like everyone's just lying to you."
