A pair of adorable pigs who have been living the life of luxury after being moved to a farm's maternity facilities were actually just chubby all along.

Squeaks and Tina, who live at Kew Little Pigs in Old Amersham, were enjoying extra rations and plenty of attention, since their 'pregnancies' began, and have gained weight and displayed pregnancy symptoms.

Staff and visitors to the award-winning attraction were excitedly waiting for the overdue piglets to arrive, but staff then realised that Squeaks and Tina are simply just chubby, and have been in it for the snacks and belly rubs all along.

Six year-old Squeaks was lapping up the attention in her private quarters, and has even taken part in tummy rub videos for the farm's social media, where she shows off her large belly.

Tina starts her cycle at exactly the same time as Squeaks, so Kew Little Pigs boss Olivia Mikhail believes that the duo may be mimicking each other's symptoms, while enjoying the extra attention that being pregnant brings along.
