The 38-year-old, who is expecting her first child in the summer with Kris Smith, revealed: Ive just gone stage one with the wardrobe where no jeans fit. Cant get any of them on and you buy jeans with stretchy bits at the front. The rest, I dont even know how it works. I really dont know how Im going to approach any of it yet.
