The ex-soap star and glamour model revealed the news in an interview with OK magazine.
Ellison, 26, is engaged to businessman Rob Tickle and the couple are planning to tie the knot in 2010. Tickle has two daughters from a previous relationship.
"We got the shock of our lives when the pregnancy test came up positive, we just had huge grins," she said. "I had this funny feeling before - I felt different and my boobs went really big."
She also revealed that she was planning to have a natural water birth, with Spandau's Ballet's 'True' playing in the background. The new romantic track was playing when the former Brookside actress was born.
