Sam Bailey has announced that she is expecting her third child.
The X Factor winner revealed that she found out she was pregnant after taking a test in a supermarket toilet.
"I went and did it in the toilet while [husband Craig] was getting all the food," the 36-year-old told The Sun.
"Obviously I'm getting a bit bigger. I didn't want people to think I'd just got fat. That would make me feel insecure again."
The singer - who performed alongside fellow X Factor stars last night (March 5) for the Sheffield leg of their tour - said she is over the moon, but was initially worried she had angered her management.
"When I got into the car I was really upset because I thought I'd let everyone at my management and the record label down," she explained.
"But they were really good about it. I was going to go on tour solo at the end of October - but I have managed to move it until January."
The mother of two - 8-year-old Brooke and 5-year-old Tommy - also shared her first scan photo with fans on Twitter.
The 'Skyscraper' performer added that her X Factor mentor Sharon Osbourne has been giving her advice on managing motherhood in the public eye.
"I'm close to Sharon. We speak quite a lot," Bailey continued. "She's my confidante and has known about the pregnancy. She's been great."
