"I nearly fell off the toilet!": Jennifer Ellison was quite surprised to find out she's FIVE months pregnant

"I nearly fell off the toilet!": Jennifer Ellison was quite surprised to find out she's FIVE months pregnant

We're big fans of rubbish daytime telly repeats of MTV show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant", where unsuspecting teenagers go to the loo only to find out that they're actually having a baby. And every time, it's a massive shock!

Clearly, Jennifer Ellison isn't such a big fan of that show, otherwise she'd have realised that she was pregnant a bit sooner than five months in. Yes, that's right: the former Dancing On Ice star had no idea she was having a baby until very recently.

In black, because it's slimming, see?

To recap: Jennifer, who is mum to three-year-old Bobby, and married to boxer Robbie Tickle, didn't think she could have any more children because she has large ovarian cysts.

So when her super-charming husband came to watch her in panto and told her "You look pregnant", Jen told him: "Shut up! It's just the costumes", and continued FLYING (well, being lifted up on wires - she was playing Peter Pan) around for three months and working twelve shows a week.

And when Robbie was all, "Are you SURE?" she continued to brush off her weight gain as a medical issue. And finally, when Jen's long suffering husband woke her up with breakfast in bed - no, sorry, he woke her up with a PREGNANCY TEST - and she did it, she was quite surprised.

She's smiling away, totally oblivious to the human growing inside her

"I nearly fell off the toilet. We've been in complete and utter shock. We'd just come to terms with the fact that we probably weren't going to be having another baby anytime soon - and now we're getting ready to do it all over again," she says, adding "I'm almost five months now, I can't believe I'm going to be having another baby in July!"

Well believe it Jen, because it's happening. It's a good thing she's not still in Brookside, because in soaps, surprise pregnancies are always bad news. Remember when Sonya got pregnant in Eastenders? Awful!

It's not all good news though, because you're not really allowed to get really really drunk when you're pregnant, and that sounds like it was Jennifer's plan for the next few months. "I wanted to get my 30th birthday over with," she says. "We had planned to go to Ibiza too, but that holiday's cancelled now!"
