OMFG! Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid are expecting a baby

Wow! Celebrity relationships really do move light years faster than everyone else’s. Celebrity Big Brother stars Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid are expecting their first child together!

Chantelle, who is 11 weeks pregnant, found about her "miracle" baby just a week before she was due to start a course of IVF treatment. The 28-year-old Reality TV star has previous revealed to heat that years of extreme dieting had left her unable to conceive naturally. She said back in July,

“I’ve punished my body, and now it’s punishing me. I can never forgive myself. I hate myself and can never forgive myself. Because of my obsession with food and my crash dieting when I had bulimia, I’ve ruined my chances of having a baby naturally. All the time I was making myself sick, I was thinking  'Yes, I’m getting skinnier.' I thought I was winning, but I was losing. It’s cost me the chance of a family.”

Chantelle and cage fighter Alex got engaged back at the beginning of October, so as well as planning their wedding they now have a baby to get excited about, too.

    I know I'm a bit cynical but I can't help wondering how much money they made from being on the front of every magazine with the story of never being able to have a familty, then suddenly 11 weeks pregnant! Wow, it'a a miracle! Somebody said earlier that they deserve each other, yes they do an now hopefully they both will crawl back underneath the non-celebrity stone from where they came. Having said that I am very happy for them, and at least they do have lots of money to spend on the baby :)

    Celebrity baby stories usually have no effect on me whatsoever, but this really made me go "aw"!! I don't know why but I like Chantelle and she's made Alex Reid seem better. Good luck to them!
