Kimberley Walsh is craving ice lollies.

The former Girls Aloud singer – who already has sons Bobby, six, and Cole, four, with husband Justin Scott – is expecting her third child, and as with her two previous pregnancies, she finds she can’t resist the hottest foods she can find, but this time around she’s also indulging in something cooling every night, despite the freezing weather.
She told Closer magazine: “I’m eating an ice lolly every night, even though we’re in the middle of winter.
“With every pregnancy so far, I always crave spicy food too.
“I like it normally, but with pregnancy I always take it to the next level, like I’m trying to do myself an injury.”
Kimberley finds she is always hungry, but she’s trying to indulge in “healthy” snacks whenever she can.
She said: “Pre-Covid, I’d be so busy, rushing around and grabbing a coffee and not really looking after myself.
“But when I know I’ve got a little human, I’m instantly so much more aware of what I eat.
“I’m not saying I eat well all the time, because the baby might need a treat now and again!
“But I’m so hungry all the time now so I’m just trying to find lots of healthy snacks that keep me away from refined sugar because I know that’s not really giving me much goodness.”
The 39-year-old star hasn’t been able to relax too much during this pregnancy because of the pressures of having both boys at home during lockdown.
She said “In lockdown, it’s hard to get time to yourself. I’ve got two boys at home.
“Bobby is homeschooling, which takes up most of the day, and any gaps in the middle I feel so guilty for Cole that I’m playing with him.
“But I have been making sure I do give myself half an hour every couple of days to go away and do a little Pilates session – it’s more for my mental health at the moment, I just feel like I need that time.”
