Nadine Coyle opens up about shock at finding she was pregnant... as she confirms Jason Bell is the father and they are back together

Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle has told of her shock at finding she was pregnant - and said she was the least likely of her bandmates to have a baby first.
The 28-year-old revealed she was expecting in the summer but did not say who the father was leading to speculation about his identity.
But in an interview with Hello! she confirmed she was back with her ex-fiance Jason Bell, a former American football player, and he is the father.

He's the daddy! Nadine Coyle has confirmed the news that Jason Bell is the father of her unborn child

The pretty star, who is five months pregnant, said: ‘I think we just forgot to tell everyone we were together.

 

‘When I said I was pregnant I thought, 'Why's everyone wondering who it is? Then I remembered, 'Oh yes, that's right. I do stuff on TV and people are confused. So this clears it up!’
Posing alongside the sports star in an image accompanying the interview Nadine reveals the first hint of her bump in a flattering skater style dress. 

Speculation: Up until now Nadine has not revealed that Jason was the father - despite the pair arriving in the UK together earlier this month

Unexpected: Nadine said she was the least likely out of the girls - Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding to have a baby first

Derry-born Coyle explained she had not been as keen as some of her bandmates to have children.

‘I think I was the least likely to be the first to have a baby, It would always come up,’ she said.
‘A couple of the other girls had wanted babies for a long time but I said no way... It was definitely a shock, but I was really, really happy.’
Bell said: ‘I've never felt excitement like this in my whole life. Knowing we're having a baby takes it to another level.’
Girls Aloud called it a day after a recent tour, but Coyle said she hoped that at some point they would team up once more.
‘I didn't want it to end - but the sequins, the wings and a bump wouldn't have been a good look. I loved the reunion and hopefully one day we will get back together to do something else.’
Nadine and Jason, who is divorced from his first wife Kimberly, started dating in 2008 and announced their engagement in September 2010.
However, by June 2011, they had separated with Nadine insisting they were 'great friends'.
In March this year, Nadine and Jason sparked speculation they had reignited their romance when he flew to London to watch her perform with Girl Aloud on their farewell tour.
Nadine decided to reveal her big news by posting a picture of herself on Instagram, with the caption 'I'm having a baby' written across the image.
