We've heard of 'sympathy labour pains', but 'sympathy cravings' we're not so sure about - especially when those cravings come in a variety of delicious flavours!
But considering we're such a big fan of this celebrity dad-to-be, we'll suspend our cynicism and just go with it!
Opening up about Patrick Kielty's response to impending fatherhood, his hugely talented and much-loved wife, Cat Deeley, has revealed the Co. Down man is undergoing his own unique experience - all in the name of love.
While acknowledging that she has yet to suffer from serious cravings in a recent interview, the Birmingham-native revealed comedian, Patrick, has everything covered on that front.
"Patrick, on the other hand, seems to be having cravings for me. He's been eating lots of ice cream and saying it's out of sympathy," she laughed during a candid interview with Closer magazine.
Unlike Patrick, Cat, a self-confessed gym bunny, hasn't experienced a significant shift in her nutrition plan, saying: "I've always followed a relatively healthy diet and never had junk food cravings."
The So You Think You Can Dance presenter, who wed Patrick in 2012, has however revealed that while she can take or leave the ice cream, a glass of bubbly is a different matter entirely!
"The only thing I'm really missing right now is Champagne. I love a glass before a show or when I'm out for dinner," explained the 38-year-old star who announced her pregnancy in recent weeks.
We're sure Cat will be grabbing a spoon and tucking in alongside her husband in no time, so!
