Spice Girls star Mel B's sister Danielle Brown has revealed she is five months pregnant.
The 38-year-old, who is already a mother of two, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Ty Maynard.
Speaking to New! magazine , the Emmerdale actress revealed that she and Ty had been trying for a baby for six months.
"We've wanted this for a while but it took longer than we expected - six months of really trying - and we became impatient so we got a puppy," she said.
However, Mel's sister added that she was still surprised when she learnt she was expecting.

"Even though we were trying, I was still shocked," she continued.
"One morning I started to feel quite sick, so I did a test - well, I did about five - and that was it. I was pregnant!"
Danielle's decision to leave the pregnancy announcement so late comes after heartbreakingly suffering two miscarriages in the past before the three month mark.
"We didn't want to get carried away and be upset," she admitted to the publication.

Danielle's pregnancy news comes as she was planning to join her sister Mel B on the upcoming Spice Girls tour.
It also comes as Mel's own personal life is also getting a lot of attention, after she confessed to having a secret fling with band-mate Geri Horner when they were younger.
Speaking on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Mel said that Geri had "great boobs," and remained awkwardly silent when asked if they had ever slept together.
Wanting to get more out of his guest, Piers asked: "Did you sleep with Geri like that?"
Mel then nervously nodded to confirm that she did.
