The 29 year-old actress, who already has a three-year-old son Bobby with husband Robbie Tickle, revealed the family’s excitement about the “miracle baby” in an interview with a UK magazine.

The pregnant star said that she only realised she was expecting a month ago because the ovarian cysts mean she doesn’t have a regular cycle.
'Its been a massive shock'
She said: "I didn't even know I was pregnant until four weeks ago, and I'm almost five months now. I can't believe I'm having another baby in July - it's been a massive shock.”
The star, who was “devastated” when doctors told her that the painful cysts meant that she was unlikely to be able to have another baby, said that her and husband Robbie are in “complete and utter shock” over the happy news.
'We'd both just come to terms with the fact that we probably weren't going to be having another baby'
She added: “We'd both just come to terms with the fact that we probably weren't going to be having another baby any time soon - and now we're getting ready to do it all over again.”
When asked whether she would do anything differently this time round, Jennifer was adamant about one thing – having climbed from a size 12 to an 18 during her last pregnancy, the star vowed not to let herself pile on the pounds with the new baby.

She said: "I'm a size 12/14 now, but I don't want to be a size 18 again. I won't let myself get to the size of a house. I'll try to stay away from treats, but I won't be obsessive and I won't eat for the sake of eating."
“It piled on last time because I sat at home bored.”
