‘Leigh-Anne is going to be a great mother'

Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock excitedly announced she’s expecting her first child with fiancé Andre Gray last week. The singer, 29, revealed their dream of becoming parents is “finally coming true” as she showed off her blossoming figure in a bare bump photoshoot.

But while fans were happy about Leigh-Anne’s news, it left some questioning the future of Little Mix, just months after Jesy Nelson sensationally quit.

And one person who knows all too well about being pregnant while in a girl group is Kerry Katona, who left Atomic Kitten when she was expecting her first child, Molly, with ex-husband Brian McFadden in 2001.

“It’s such lovely news that Leigh-Anne is pregnant,” Kerry told new. “I think she’s a little powerhouse and she’ll be an absolutely brilliant mother. But it can be difficult being pregnant while you’re in a girl band.”
