Kian Egan is supporting his Wonderland wife, Jody Albert, during her pregnancy by drinking a lot less than he used to.

The Westlife star said:  "I haven't been drinking as much. I've had a few nights down the pub but you do go through it together. I don't like the idea of waking up with a hangover anymore."

Albert revealed to OK! Magazine that her acting past helped her dupe their friend that the 'vodka and soda' she had in her hand whilst they were out was in fact just soda water:  

"My main concern is growing this baby properly, but because we were out with friends Kian would just order me a soda and lime without the vodka, so people didn't suspect, and then I'd just pretend I was off my face - I think my days of acting helped out there!"

The couple announced that they were expecting a child in August. The baby is due on January 1 2012.

Louis Walsh and Kian Egan hand-picked the members of Albert's girlgroup Wonderland themselves.
