Alongside an image of herself, she wrote: "It is with extreme pleasure I announce I am pregnant. I am going to be releasing new music at this time and wanted to feel free in my body as it changes before all our eyes!

"I love my job and can't wait for you all to hear my 5th album and I will be out and about playing as much as this crazy time will allow (also a tour next year)."

She continued: "I am not a skinny pregnant person and I am also high risk in pregnancy so would like to ask the media not to run after me ate get unflattering shots as anxiety is detrimental to me and my baby.

"I had a very traumatic first birth and I am also prone to postpartum depression."
