Actress Minnie Driver has confirmed she is expecting her first child.

The Good Will Hunting star revealed the news during a TV interview with US chatshow host Jay Leno.

When Leno asked Driver if she had been putting on weight, she replied: "Are you calling me fat? You've noticed my tummy, haven't you?"

Leno responded "Are you pregnant?", to which she answered: "Yes, I am." The 38-year-old did not reveal the father's identity.

Driver revealed that the worst part of her pregnancy so far had been the morning sickness. She commented: "I don't know why they call it morning sickness. I am sick morning, noon and night, but it's a fair trade-off."
