TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp is pregnant with her second child.

The 36-year-old, who hosts Channel 4's Location, Location, Location, is expecting a baby with property tycoon Ben Andersen.

She told the Daily Mail: "We're thrilled to bits. The baby is due in August - and I'll bet it's another son - which means we will have the exact gap we wanted between the two.

"The only downside is that I have been laid low by morning sickness. In fact, I'm going to devote time during my pregnancy to researching it and why I feel so dreadful - after all, it's not an illness."

The couple have been dating for four years and have 18-month-old son Bay. Anderson also has two sons from a previous marriage.

However, Allsopp insisted that there were no plans to tie the knot, saying: "Ben and I are committed to each other and I have a big sparkly ring but we are not planning to get married."
