Shannon Noll and his wife reveal exciting news
Australian Idol star Shannon Noll and his wife of 14 years, Rochelle, have excitedly announced that they are expecting their fourth child.
The star told New Idea on Monday the baby was conceived shortly after he filmed I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in the South African jungle.
The 42-year-old singer said: “I put it down to the detox in the jungle! I was totally detoxing and there wasn't a lot of privacy if you get my drift.
“This all happened around Easter, which was only 10 or 15 days after I got back from the jungle. I think the show is the reason we got pregnant.”
Rochelle, who is currently in her second trimester, said the pregnancy came as a surprise because they had tried for a fourth baby “years ago” after the birth of their youngest daughter Sienna.
Shannon also revealed that a doctor had told the couple they would be unlikely to have children again following a ute accident in 2010.
“I left for London a few days [after the accident] and halfway through rehearsals I was in agony. The first thing the doctor said was, 'I hope you're finished having kids', so we didn't think there was any chance,” he said.
Rochelle, 43, told New Idea there was “a bit of concern” early in the pregnancy, but due to her healthy lifestyle any complications were resolved.
Shannon and Rochelle share three children together already – Cody, 17, Blake, 15, and Sienna, 11.
In 2003, Shannon first rose to fame during the first season of Australian Idol, finishing in second place behind Guy Sebastian.
