The 38-year-old mum-to-be, who is expecting her first child with former England rugby playing boyfriend Kris Smith, said she was glad after learning that a multiple birth was not a possibility in her case.

“We know it’’s not twins – the doctor said this morning that there’’s only one in there and Kris and I both sighed with relief! I”m so tiny, I”m not big enough to fit twins in there – I wouldn”t be able to stand up!” the Daily Telegraph quoted her as telling Britain’s Glamour magazine.

She added: “I have two loving parents who formed a family around me and I have it in my mind that I want it to be like that. I would only do it if I was able to recreate that and up until now, I”ve never been in a relationship where I was 100 per cent confident and had those feelings.

“Kris was ready from the word go and couldn”t wait to start a family. I”ve taken some convincing, but we”ve taken the leap together and it feels right. Kris is The One.”
