Sam Bailey’s pregnancy still hasn’t sunk in yet.
The 2013 ‘X Factor’ champion – who recently discovered she was expecting her third child – has claimed the news hasn’t "hit" her, and admitted she thinks the baby was conceived on New Year’s Eve.
She told BANG Showbiz: "It’s not hit me yet that I’m pregnant. I’m three months, so I’ve got six months to go … I’m pretty sure it was New Year’s Eve.
"It was before we went out, before I performed at G-A-Y. It’s a New Year’s Eve baby."
Despite her recent rise to stardom, Sam insisted she won’t be looking at employing a nanny to look after her children – daughter Brooke, eight, and son Tommy, five, with husband Craig – but she will be playing her mother to accompany her on tour to help out.
She added: "I’m due October 3rd. My mum’s going to come on tour with me [in January] to look after the baby.
"I’m going to pay my mum’s wages for a month so she can come on tour with me … I’m not getting a nanny. I’ll look after my own kids … I won’t be taking mega amounts of time off because I’ve got great people around me and supporting me.
"I need to be there for a certain period of time with the baby, but it’s not like I’m flying off the Cambodia and staying away from home. I’ve got a great husband he’s a great dad who’s great at looking after babies."
Sam’s debut album ‘The Power of Love’ is released on Monday (24.03.14).
