Jersey Shore star Snooki is rumoured to be pregnant with her first child. "She's about three to four months along," a source told E!Online.
The star, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, denied that she was expecting a baby with boyfriend Jionni LaValle earlier in the year, but new reports claim that the reality TV star lied about this and is in fact three months pregnant.
The news apparently sent MTV into "crisis" mode because Snooki had been about to film a new spin-off series with Jenni J-Woww Farley.
"MTV are trying to hide it because it would greatly affect the creative direction of the show," a source told the New York Post. Snooki is also rumoured to have remained schtum about the news on Twitter because she is negotiating a deal with an American magazine to break the news.
A few weeks ago, the 24-year-old denied the rumours, saying: "I definitely do want kids, but I'm not pregnant…Being pregnant should be a real thing and a happy thing, and I'm not." Snooki's rep has declined the comment on the news.
