GEMMA Atkinson was left red-faced after her daughter Mia announced that the star was pregnant.

The former Hollyoaks actress explained that the youngster stood up in front of everyone at her nursery and said: "My mummy's got a baby in her tummy."

Speaking on her Hits Radio show, the star, 37, insisted she was not pregnant but put on a little weight following a recent trip to Spain.

However, her three-year-old daughter was clearly convinced otherwise.

Gemma told drivetime co-host Mike Toolan: "Mia's told a lot of the teachers at nursery that I'm pregnant."

Shocked, he replied: "You're pregnant? I thought it was just a bit of holiday weight."
