Tori Spelling has defended flaunting her baby bump in a bikini.

The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' actress - who is expecting her fourth child with husband Dean McDermott - has blasted critics who think she should cover up her bulging belly.

Tori took to her personal website to rant: ''A few months back, I caught a lot of flack on two separate occasions for bearing my baby bump in a bikini and monokini while spending the day poolside with my family.

''I have to say, I'm super proud of my bump. Why should I be embarrassed and cover up something that's the greatest gift a woman can experience? A pregnant woman in any shape or size is beautiful!''

The indignant 39-year-old star thinks pregnant woman have the right to flaunt their baby bumps and has vowed to keep showing off hers.

She added: ''Pregnancy is an amazing journey and we preggers should be able to show it off. I call it bump proud! Embrace your growing curves and bourgeoning belly.''

Tori already has Stella, four, and Liam, five, as well as ten-month-old Hattie, but she recently confessed that being pregnant does wonders for her sex life and she would happily have more children.

The star quipped: ''I'm never as happy as when I'm pregnant.

''And Dean can't keep his hands off me! He's like, 'You're the sexiest pregnant woman.'

''I literally would have 10 babies if I could!''
