The former I'm a Celebrity star recently announced the exciting news that she and boyfriend Simon Motson are expecting their first baby together.

Myleene has two other daughters, 11-year-old Ava and 7-year-old Hero, with her ex-husband Graham Quinn.

Asked why she won't be taking any maternity leave, Myleene responded (via Metro): "No... I'm a working mum. As I did with my other two, I will pop the little one out and bring her or him with me as normal.

"I just think as a working mum that's what you do. And a self-employed one at that.

The Classic FM presenter continued: "I think many mums will be able to relate to that. You just get on with your life as normal. You just bring the little one with you."

Myleene also revealed that she's breastfed live on air before when she was busy presenting on the radio.

"It's happened before. I have breastfed many a time on air," she added. "It just so happens I have the best job in the world."

Myleene has previously opened up about her relationship with Simon, saying "how awful" it could have been if they haven't met.

"How awful that I could have gone through my life and not met him," she told Fabulous magazine. "Imagine never getting why people write those crazy love songs or do crazy things.

"I get it now as a grown-up, and it’s a lovely, lovely thing. To feel like this is a whole other level, and it’s quite incredible. I’m just very happy. About time, eh?"
