THIS sounds a bit mean-minded, but I'm not sure Charlotte Church is ready for a baby.

The 21-year-old singer and her Welsh rugby hero boyfriend, Gavin Henson, aged 25, have just announced the pregnancy and that they are "delighted" with the news.

But the normally welcome news sounds a few warning bells: Will Chazza give up her hell-raising, hard-drinking ways? Will "our Gav" forego his social life to be practically involved in a baby?

There is just the slight feeling that all may not be as rosy as it looks with the high-profile couple, and the "let's have a baby and everything will be wonderful" syndrome has kicked in.

With one very public example of how not to make happy families currently on view just across the water in Britney Spears' life, let's keep our fingers crossed that this latest set of unlikely parents-to-be manage to get it right.
