Marnie Simpson craving bath sponges

Marnie Simpson has been craving bath sponges during her pregnancy.

The 27-year-old star is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Casey Johnson - who she met while filming MTV reality show \'Single AF\' two years ago - but she has even become picky about which type of sponges she likes to suck water out of.

She said: "I\'ve been craving bath sponges. I like sucking the water out of them."

Casey added: "It\'s a weird craving. I actually have a video of her doing it.

"I literally bought her some sponges the other day but she said they weren\'t the right ones, so I\'ve got to let her buy her own now."

Marnie - who found fame on \'Geordie Shore\' - is due to give birth on October 16, and while she admits her pregnancy has been relatively stress-free, she is ready for her baby to arrive.

She said: "In the beginning I suffered with nausea, but since getting past 20 weeks I\'ve been a lot better. Considering how bad some people\'s pregnancies are, I think it\'s been alright.

"I feel so swollen and bloated, I can\'t wait for him to arrive now."

Casey, 24, says they\'re both "so excited" about their impeding arrival and were "over the moon" when they found out they were having a boy.

Speaking in a joint interview with new! magazine, he added: "I\'d be lying to you if I said I didn\'t want a boy.

"I want to have a little girl as well. I want a boy and a girl. But if we have another boy I think I\'d go for the third."

Marnie added: "I want two little boys and a little girl. I think that\'s really cute."
