Unless you’ve been living under an anti-Kardashian force field for the past few days, you’ll know that rumours have been flying that 20-year-old Kylie Jenner is up the duff.
Matters have not been helped by eagle-eyed fans spotting possible tummy cover-ups on Kylie’s Insta story, and her own extremely savvy skirting of the matter via social media.
But we thought – truly, we thought – that if there was any time the family was going to confirm or deny these rumours that the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan was pegrent, it would be on the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians‘ 10-year anniversary special.
I SWEAR if they don’t acknowledge Kylie’s pregnancy AND Kim’s surrogate… I’m still going to watch. Cheap shot though! #KUWTK

NOPE. Instead, the episode, hosted by Ryan Seacrest because of course it was, consisted of 90 minutes of agonising waiting, followed by uproar.
Not even a single drop of tea was spilled for the entire episode, unless you count the serene and studied obliviousness of the rest of the Kardashian bunch:
I literally have chills. All of these memories!!!

Our waiting was all in vain. The screams could be heared echoing around the Twittersphere.

What can we say; they wanted us to watch the whole thing, and we did. Well played, Kardashians. Well played.
