Big Brother star Jade Goody is pregnant with her second child.

She sparked baby rumours when she collapsed while taking part in TV show Back To Reality five weeks ago.

Now Jade and partner Jeff Brazier, who already have a 10-month-old son Bobby Jack,have confirmed she is three months pregnant.

"I'm really looking forward to Bobby having a brother or sister to play with," 22-year-old Jade said.

Jeff, 24, added: "Bobby has brought us so much happiness and now we'll be having twice the fun. I'm absolutely thrilled."

Viewers suspected Jade was pregnant when she collapsed in the Back To Reality mansion.

On the show, she stuck to soft drinks and asked whether having a massage was safe for mums-to-be.

She denied being pregnant because she did not want to go public before her 12-week scan.

Jade also wanted to wait until her mum Jackiey had returned from holiday so she could give her the happy news in person.

"Like most parents, Jade and Jeff were determined to keep the news under wraps until Jade had undergone her 12-week scan," said her spokeswoman.

The couple have been together for two years and their relationship has had its ups and downs.

Jeff, co-presenter of Channel 4's Dirty Laundry, walked out of their home in Harlow, Essex, last August but the pair were soon back together.
