The 34-year-old singer is 30 weeks pregnant and the pop sensation spoke to Vogue about her surprise baby news for the first time after admitting she hasn't been out in public with her baby bump.

"We did The One Show. I was pregnant and had no idea,” she told the fashion magazine about her last public outing.

“That was [around] the time when Caspar and I went away briefly when we were allowed to for our one-year anniversary, and that’s basically when we found out.

"It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary.

"That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality.

"Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human.

"I want a better word than womanly, [but]—I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.”

Ellie married Caspar Jopling, the son of The Hon Nicholas Jopling of Yorkshire, in front of royalty and A-list celebrities at York Minster in August 2019.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, James Blunt, Jimmy Carr, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie led the celebrity guests that attended the wedding, with it being reported that Eugenie was the one to introduce Ellie and Caspar.

In 2018, it was revealed she had been secretly baptised at a Doncaster church ahead of her wedding, which was originally due to take place at All Saints Church in Frickley near Caspar’s family home, before the switch to York Minster.

His family live at nearby Frickley Hall and he is the son of The Hon Nicholas Jopling and Mrs Jayne Warde-Aldam.

Mrs Warde-Aldam, whose family own Frickley Hall between Hooton Pagnell and Frickley, has two children with Mr Jopling who she married in 1987 - Charlotte born in 1990 and Caspar, born in 1992.

She married Charles Andrew Warde-Aldam in 1997.

The couple live at Frickey Hall in the village which was built in 1760.

The singer and Mr Jopling first began dating in 2017 and now live in Gloucestershire.
