She said: “I always worried it wouldn’t happen for me – I’m beside myself with happiness.

“I’ve been playing songs to the bump and sometimes I sit and cry about how much I love my baby! I’ve always wanted to be a mum, so I’m really excited.”

She told OK! Magazine of her hopes the child follows in her acting footsteps rather than the Sheffield United defender’s.

Brooke said: “We’re both each other’s biggest fans and having a baby together will add an extra bond. Kean brings out the best in me and it makes me so excited that we’re on this journey together.

I like to think I’m the boss of our relationship but Kean has a really wise head on his shoulders, so I know he’ll be a brilliant dad.

“I’ve said to Kean that I hope our child is a show off, I want it to be a performer like me.”

And she insists the gender won’t be known until the big day, but wouldn’t stay quiet on her prediction.

The former Dancing On Ice contestant added: “We want it to be surprise, which has amazed all my friends because I’m usually so impatient. I think it’s a boy.”
