Singer Javine Hylton has revealed she put on 4st while pregnant with her daughter, reports Hello!.

Javine recently gave birth to Angel, her first child with So Solid Crew's MC Harvey, and said she is keen to start dieting.

"I ate healthily [when pregnant] but too much," she explained. "I put on 4st, so I now have work to do."

However, Harvey revealed he has no problem with his fiancée's fuller figure: "Javine looks beautiful and I keep telling her she has an amazing body."

"She's just had our child and tummy tucks are not part of the plan. I'll take her jogging gently after six weeks or so. Nature will take care of it."

Javine, who missed out on a place in Girls Aloud on reality show Popstars: The Rivals, started an affair with Harvey while the So Solid Crew star was married to Alesha Dixon.
