Danniella WILL be a mum again at 44
Star and toyboy show off baby bump
DANNIELLA Westbrook is pregnant at 43 – and proud to show it off as she steps out with her fiancé.
The former soap star revealed her baby bump as she cuddled her 34-year-old lover Alan Thomason.
It follows a week in which the ex- EastEnders actress shrugged off rumours she and Alan were preparing to be parents by the time she is 44.
A source said: “She’s so happy just to have it out in the open now – so many people have been whispering about it.
“She felt like she was ready to let people know and stop being careful about who sees the bump.
Secret
“People have been saying she and Alan are rushing into things but she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. She’s pregnant and wants the whole world to know it.”
With a ten- year age gap, Alan is Danniella’s second toyboy lover since she dated George Arnold last year. He is 18 years her junior.
Their newborn will be the Essex TV star’s third child after having Kai, now 21, and Jody, 15.
Last week she denied a baby was on its way, telling Good Morning Britain the rumours were untrue.
When presenter Jeremy Kyle asked point-blank if she was pregnant, she replied: “Not the last time I looked, no.”

“Everybodyerybody obsesses over her private te life so she wanted to make sure this was their little secret until she was ready to be seen pregnant in public.” .”
