Actress Jennifer Ellison has confirmed that she is pregnant with her third child.
The former Brookside star revealed to OK! Magazine that she is six months pregnant with the latest addition to her family with boxer husband Robbie Tickle, adding that the news came as a surprise as doctors had said it was unlikely that she would naturally conceive another child.
“I have really bad ovarian cysts and the doctors said I wouldn’t be able to conceive again – then this happens!” she said.
She told the magazine that the couple were excited about the impending arrival of a sibling for four-year-old Bobby and eleven-month-old Harry but had yet to find out the sex of the child.
“My friends are throwing me a ‘gender reveal’ baby shower, it’s where you cut into a cake and the sponge will either be pink or blue, and that’s how you find out the sex.”
