Sophie Ellis-Bextor has confirmed she is pregnant today
The hitmaker raised questions about whether she was expecting after stepping out for Lorraine's High Street Fashion Awards earlier this week, sporting what looked like a baby bump.
The 36-year-old took to the micro-blogging site to confirm her and her husband, Richard Jones' happy news.
Sophie started off a series of tweets by writing: "Hello all. Been finding it a bit nice-but-strange to be congratulated on a pregnancy I haven't actually announced yet…"
The singer then included her husband, The Feeling's bassist, in the social media banter by posting a picture of a finger pointing at her stomach, with a heart in the background.

The baby will be the singer and her husband's fourth child
Sophie captioned the image with the question: "What do you think, @thefeeling R? Is there a baby in there?"
Richard, who wed the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant in 2005, replied saying: "Yes, there is!".
She then confirmed the couple's new baby will be arriving in the autumn, writing: "Ah ok, cool! Mystery solved. Baby in autumn. Lovely! As you were."
Sophie sent the rumour mill into overdrive at the Lorraine Fashion Awards on Tuesday
The couple are already parents to three boys: Sonny, 11, Kit, six, and three-year-old Ray.
Sophie first sparked rumours she was expecting when she stepped out on the red carpet at the star-studded bash on Tuesday evening.
The star made every effort to hide her tum in a green, smock-style dress, complete with bold white pattern.
