Ferrell: 'Applegate will be great mum'

Will Ferrell has spoken out in support of Anchorman co-star Christina Applegate's pregnancy.

The actress announced last week that she is expecting her first child with fiance Martyn LeNoble.

“I think she'll be an amazing mum,” Ferrell told In Touch.

“She's one of the kindest, sweetest people I've ever met, and she's going to be awesome. Congratulations to her!”

Applegate recently admitted that she has been experiencing strange food cravings since becoming pregnant.
