Comic reveals her pregnancy

Amy Schumer has revealed that she is expecting her first child.

The 37-year-old revealed the news via an Instagram story posted by her friend, journalist Jessica Yellin.

Although primarily the story was a list of candidates the comedian suggested fans vote for in the forthcoming US midterm elections, at the end of the list she stated: ‘I'm pregnant.'

Schumer also teased the news in her own Instagram post, sharing a photo of herself and her husband made to look like a pregnant Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
