She said OK! Magazine: “I was literally on my hands and knees feeling horrible, and the paramedic on set called John and said, ‘Are you sure you’re not pregnant?'”
“I was like, ‘Oh no, I hardly ever see my husband! It’s just this heat.” Then I was sick for a couple of weeks and he said, “Go and take a pregnancy test,” so I did.

“It came back positive right away. I thought, “Oh my god, John was right!” It was a really nice surprise. I feel very lucky.”
Kellie, who claimed she’s “always wanted twins,” shared that her daughter Pearl is “so excited” for the little boy and even draws “lovely little cards” for the tot.
However, she joked that son Louie has been in tears since he’s convinced his parents “will love the baby more than me.”
The TV personality went on to reveal that she was “absolutely floored” by her “getting older” and has been holding back on telling her co-workers so she could adjust.
She admitted she was worried people would see her “differently” as a pregnant actress, but has since realized the world has “moved on”.
The actress married writer Phil in 2010 and starred on the BBC One soap as Carly Wicks between 2006 and 2008, returning briefly in 2012.
They met during a night out in a Manchester nightclub in 2004.
