Helen Flanagan has revealed that she's three months pregnant with footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair.
Expecting the baby in June, she's said to be "thrilled" with the news after making it known that she was keen to start a family.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, a friend explained: "It's a much-wanted pregnancy which makes it all the sweeter. Helen is so thrilled. She was bursting with excitement."
Recently spotted showing off the baby bump in Dubai with her friend Karis Kennedy, it's believed that she's been struggling throughout the first trimester of pregnancy with morning sickness.
Her friend went on to say: "It hasn't been easy for Helen. She's been feeling poorly.
"She has complained on Twitter about feeling under the weather -but did not reveal why."
Despite splitting briefly from Scott last year following reports he'd been flirting over text with anoter woman, she described herself as the "broodiest woman in Britain" and expressed desire for a large family.
She said: "I'm probably the broodiest woman in Britain.
"The plan is to have four children and then adopt one or two more."
