Jessie J has announced she is pregnant with her first child.
The singer, who formerly served as a judge on the UK and Australian versions of The Voice, announced the news via Instagram in a video which showed her positive test, ultrasounds and various photos of the singer with a small bump.
"I am so happy and terrified to finally share this…Please be gentle with me," she wrote in the caption. "Honestly, ya girl just wants to ugly cry in public in a catsuit eating a chocolate covered pickle with no questions asked."

The news comes just over a year after Jessie announced she had suffered a miscarriage, which the singer described as the "saddest" moment of her life.
"The day it happened a man came up to me in the street. I was by myself and crying. He said, 'I don't know you and I don't know what is happening with you right now but I know you should share it with other people," she revealed.
"That is why I do what I do. So to anyone who has been through that, or near someone who has, I am so sorry. There is no other way to explain it than just the saddest, loneliest thing," she continued.
"I am grateful I was raised by two incredible people who taught me to find the blessing in the pain. I am grateful for the perspective I have. Every day we just have to live and live harder."
