Jade: I'm pregnant

Jade Goody is pregnant with her second child, she announced today.

The Big Brother star sparked baby rumours when she collapsed while taking part in TV show Back To Reality five weeks ago.

Now Jade, 22, and partner Jeff Brazier have confirmed she is three months pregnant.

The couple already have a 10-month old son, Bobby Jack.

"I'm really looking forward to Bobby having a brother or sister to play with," Jade said.

Jeff, 24, added: "Bobby has brought us so much happiness and now we'll be having twice the fun. I'm absolutely thrilled."

Viewers suspected Jade was pregnant when she collapsed in the Back To Reality mansion, stuck to soft drinks throughout her time on the show and asked whether having a massage was safe for mums-to-be.

She denied being pregnant because she did not want to go public before her 12-week scan.

Jade also wanted to wait until her mum Jackiey had returned from holiday so she could give her the happy news in person.

"Like most parents, Jade and Jeff were determined to keep the news under wraps until Jade had undergone her 12-week scan," her spokeswoman said.

"Jade's mother was away on holiday in India when the rumours started circulating. She wanted to tell her mum personally and make sure she was among the first to know.

"Jade and Jeff were also keen to tell other family members and close friends before making the news public."

The couple have been together for two years and their relationship has had its ups and downs.

Jeff, co-presenter of Channel 4's Dirty Laundry, walked out of their home in Harlow, Essex last August but the pair were soon back together and recently enjoyed a sunshine holiday in Gran Canaria with baby Bobby.

Good luck to Jade!
