Carla Bruni parades her burgeoning bump after her father-in-law reveals she IS pregnant with Sarkozy's child

* Her dark-coloured outfit failed to hide ther obvious condition
* Pal Sarkozy, 82, is 'sure it's a girl who'll be as beautiful as Carla'
* Earlier television presenter 'congratulated' Bruni who did not deny her pregnancy

Carla Bruni proudly displayed her burgeoning bump in Paris on the same day her father-in-law finally confirmed that she is pregnant.

As the wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy made her way into the launch event for her illiteracy foundation she had quite a task hiding the obvious.

The 43-year-old wore a fitted dark jacket with a navy shirt and trousers - the dark colours failing to disguise her obvious condition.
