Helen Flanagan is pregnant.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star is said to be expecting her first child with her boyfriend, footballer Scott Sinclair, in June.
The pretty actress – who is already three months along – is "thrilled" with the news after making it known she was keen to start a family with Scott, 25, whom she has been dating for six years, over the summer.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "It’s a much-wanted pregnancy which makes it all the sweeter. Helen is so thrilled. She was bursting with excitement."
While Helen, 24, was recently spotted showing off her baby bump in a skimpy bikini during a holiday in Dubai with her pal Karis Kennedy, it is believed the actress has been struggling with morning sickness throughout the first trimester of her pregnancy.
Her friend explained: "It hasn’t been easy for Helen. She’s been feeling poorly.
"She has complained on Twitter about feeling under the weather -but did not reveal why."
The brunette beauty – who briefly split from Scott last year following reports he had been sending flirtatious texts to another woman – previously described herself as the "broodiest woman in Britain" and expressed her desire to start a large family.
She said: "I’m probably the broodiest woman in Britain.
"The plan is to have four children and then adopt one or two more."
