She took to Twitter to share her knowledge. “Good little tip if your struggling with morning sickness (and have not figured it out already)[sic],” she wrote.

“Stick to cold meats as hot meals can bring on a smell that can set off your sickness. I’m still on cold foods. I have lots of healthy salads and sandwiches xxx”

If you’re stuck for lunch and snack ideas, Helen has that sorted too. She added: “My fave lunch at the moment is Pret. #falafelwrap and green goodness drink #yum.”She later posted: “Love salted popcorn.”

The former Coronation Street star is convinced her and Scott are having a boy and has already named him.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Helen said: “Scott’s known I’ve wanted to be a mum since pretty early in our relationship. So when I turned 24 we both felt it was time to finally have a baby.”

“A mum is really everything I’ve genuinely wanted to be. I think it’s the best thing you can be!

“I’m convinced it’s a boy – I love the name Flynn.”
