The professional swimmer reveals her baby joy in a new interview with Hello! magazine, where she - rather unsurprisingly, what with all those Olympic gold medals she’s got kicking around the house - also discusses the possibility of a water birth, which she reckons is “top of her list”.

The young couple tied the knot earlier this year and, somewhat graphically, have also discussed the fact that their baby was probably conceived on the first date of their honeymoon.
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity’ campmate says: “The due date is 4 June... so, yes, we must have conceived on the first day of our honeymoon in Venice.”
Harry, who is also a swimmer, goes on to joke: “But we're not the Beckhams - we won't be calling the baby Venice!”

Rebecca has already had her first scan, which she admits was a daunting experience, but says she was over the moon to see her unborn child’s heartbeat for the first time.
Rebecca also thanked her fans and supporters for their kind messages of congratulations on Monday, tweeting that she “can’t wait to be a mum”.
She was previously forced to deny rumours she was pregnant last year, when an undisclosed medical condition prevented her from taking part in some of the Bushtucker Trials during her time in the ‘I’m A Celeb’ jungle.
