Rachel Stevens is likely to be hitting the shops to stock up on all in one suits after announcing she is pregnant.

The singer announced the news through her spokesman, who said he was "delighted" to confirm the former S Club 7 star is expecting her first child with husband Alex Bourne.

Stevens remarked: "We are thrilled and so excited about becoming parents."

No due date has been announced for the tot, but the couple revealed the baby will arrive "later in the year".

The news follows recent comments Stevens made in an interview with New! magazine, where she revealed having children would be the "most amazing thing".

She is not the only former Strictly Come Dancing contestant set to be shopping for baby essentials such as all in one suits.

Last month, Ex-EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy announced she is expecting her first child.

She is reportedly set to reveal the trials and tribulations of pregnancy in a reality TV series for E4.
