Chanelle Hayes: 'I really am pregnant'

Chanelle Hayes has laughed off claims that she is not really pregnant.

The former Big Brother star told her Twitter followers last week that she is definitely expecting her first child, despite not visibly showing a baby bump.

Hayes said: "I am gettin seriously annoyed with people saying I'm not pregnant. Yes, I've suffered from depression but I'm not a raving loon ffs!!!!! When my beautiful baby is here I want apologies. (sic)

"I'm not allowed to post bump pics, my agent told me off! Sorryyyyyyyyy x Clearing out the nursery for my gorgeous baby 2day! Decorators in 2mo! I'm so happy and lucky and blessed xx..."

Later, she suggested that she already knows the sex of the baby and added: "I've definitely had bump progress! Thumbs uppppp!! X

"The artists have just left for the day, nursery looking amazing so far, should be done by 2mo! No pics tho else you'll see pink or blue! X"

According to reports, Hayes is believed to be dating Jade Goody's widower Jack Tweed.
