Kelly Brook expecting girl with boyfriend Thom Evans

Model and actress Kelly Brook has confirmed that she's pregnant.

The 31-year-old is expecting a girl with boyfriend Thom Evans, a former Scottish rugby union player and cousin of Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans.

Kelly Brook, who rose to fame co-hosting Channel 4's Big Breakfast, announced the news on Twitter.

She said: "Thom and I are happy to announce we are expecting a baby girl. We are delighted XXXXX. Thank you for all your messages, I am so excited."

England rugby star Danny Cipriani, a former teammate of Thom Evans, broke up with Kelly Brook last year.

He wished the couple all the best saying: "Kelly told me in January that she was expecting. I am really happy for her. She will make a great mum."

This will be Kelly Brook's first child.

She was previously engaged to Hollywood actor Billy Zane and also went out with British star Jason Statham for seven years.
