Martine McCutcheon Expecting First Child

Martine McCutcheon has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child.

The former EastEnders' actress revealed the news in an interview with Hello! magazine.

McCutcheon, 38, added that she and husband Jay McManus, are expecting a baby boy.

Her baby news comes after a number of health issues for the McCutcheon, which left her wondering if she would be able to become a mother.

Speaking to the publication, she explained: "We'd always said that if we were fortunate to be blessed with a child, that would be wonderful, but we were very aware that it's not a given.

"As a woman in her late 30s who's experienced health problems, I thought I might have to accept that it wasn't a path my life was going to take, but it would have been a great sadness in our lives if that had been the case."

The actress married 30-year-old McManus, who is a musician, in 2012. In an interview last year, McCutcheon spoke of her desire to have a family after she overcame her health issues, that included chronic fatigue syndrome and depression.

At the time, she confessed: "I love kids and this has made me realise I'd love to have children. I now know that I'll be well enough to take care of them and be able to have that choice but I just want to get myself and my body back to normal first."

McCutcheon is due to give birth in February next year.
