Angelina Jolie has revealed that she has felt her baby kicking for the first time.

The actress is due to give birth to her second child with partner Brad Pitt this summer.

She told People that she was discussing Iraq education policy at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington when she noticed movement in her belly.

She said: "[I] felt kicking suddenly in the middle of the event. It's a very special time in our lives."

The couple currently have biological daughter Shiloh, one, and adopted children Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, and three-year-old Zahara.

Jolie - who is rumoured to be expecting twins - was recently reported to be suffering from a form of diabetes which affects pregnant women.
