It appears to be all about the money with these two, doesn't it? There was a lot of speculation about how on earth Kristina was worth as much money to Channel 5 as she is getting paid for doing CBB - now we have our answer. It was plainly part of her contract to make her pregnancy public on the show.
It would appear so......or why else the need for the reveal. Someone said the reveal was in part due to it getting awkward she wasn't drinking but given the amount of addicts in that house I can't think why her abstaining amongst a group of people who feature a few who have been in rehab and that she doesn't know would be considered odd so I can only see money, controversy creates cash etc or avoiding eviction as the motivation.

Also on the DM comments section a person has posted who claims to be a friend of the Cohen family and says that Abby & the girls knew nothing about it until the barrage of press started up again last night after the announcement. If that is true I'm just appalled that Ben & Kristina could stoop so low.

Yes, I thought it was odd that she is apparently getting paid more than all the others, but I guess this explains it.

Judging by the comments I've read about this elsewhere, if Kristina really did go in there to change the public's opinion about her, this really wasn't the best way to go about it.

Do you know what Kristina is being paid? I tried to look it up and I keep finding these figures:

David Gest £600,000
Jonathan Cheban £300,000
Danniella Westbrook £200,000
Stephanie Davis £150,000
Kristina Rihanoff, Gemma Collins and Nancy Dell’Olio £100,000 each
Winston McKenzie £60,000.

Your figures make more sense though. Either way, this probably got Kristina a better deal than she would've got otherwise.

I imagine that there might have been much speculation as the program progressed about Kristinas pregnancy, possibly better to have it out in the open from the outset. Very difficult to keep it totally secret I would have thought. As for the ex wife, I don't think that any of the parties in this particular case has the right to any high moral ground. As soon as people choose to go to the press to air their grievances all hope of any dignity is lost and we who avidly grasp for every detail and eagerly repeat the gossip are equally bereft.

I imagine she had to announce it as she will be exempt from any very physical tasks, or eating/vomity ones - she's also not drinking.

She's wanted children for a long time, good luck to her I say.

No doubt the Daily Mail will be giving a zillion column inches to Ben's estranged wife and her mother. Sometimes, relationships, especially those started in the teenage years, end. It's sad but it happens. But the ways Abbey drags it out in the Daily Mail is not doing their kids any favours.

That's untrue and very unkind in my opinion.

It's not untrue - she was in the Daily Mail just a few days ago talking about them for no apparent reason.

For your daughter's take, stop washing your laundry in public for the Daily Mail!

£300,000 sounds ridiculous for a guy who was occasionally a guest on the Kardashians' show though.

Anyway, I'm happy for Kristina. At 38, well, if she wants to have a baby, it doesn't make a lot of sense to put it off any longer.

If she is 3 months pregnant, why is nobody suspecting Daniel O'Donnell?
To be fair to Kristina, Daniel in that pilots outfit - I would.

The same could be said to Kristina and Ben (assuming he ok'd her revealing this) - I doubt dragging this out on Big Brother is doing his daughters any favours either.

Of course it could, the point is it's laughable for anyone to suggest that the ex-wife has any more moral high ground than anyone else involved as she's been determined to make her feelings equally public and not cared to temper her language and thoughts either!

Anyway, congratulations to Kristina, it's clear she's wanted to be a mother for a while and I'm sure she'll be a good one.

Nothing laughable about it at all in my opinion. I am also not of the view that someone who has been cheated on should meekly accept their lot because the cheater left her for "sweet and lovely" Kristina.

BiB:
Kristina is drinking alcohol (if this is what you meant by "drinking") She was seen drinking Champagne/Prosecco on Launch Night, she had a few glasses.

You make it sound so tragic! They hear about their (already separated) parent fathering a baby with his new partner via newspapers - hardly traumatic! With all the very real suffering children are experiencing across the world right now, it seems pretty trivial to me.

And in any case, we only have the word of one commentor in the Daily Mail that that is the way they heard about it!

As a matter of interest, what makes you 'sure' Kristina will be a good mother?

Perhaps your empathy gene needs a bit of work?

I'm sure the new baby will earn them a couple of pages in one of the Celeb mags.
Nice little earner when other doors are being closed.
I won't comment on the ethics of the situation with his wife and children from his marriage. They don't bare thinking about. But its a hell of a mess to bring a new baby into.

OR, perhaps you need to acquire a sense of perspective....

Whatever your issues are it doesn't help your kids if it's all there for posterity that mummy ranted on twitter about daddy's girlfriend. I'm not saying it's easy or not understandable she did so but the poster you're replying does have a point. My mum always respected John Lennon's first wife Cynthia for keeping a dignified silence when she got ditched for Yoko Ono and there were plenty of people who hated Yoko Ono who would have sympathised with her had she gone to the press and ranted about it.

Not at all trivial. It's a hugely emotive subject for children to deal with. I've been there myself and the traumas of my parents divorcing when I was a teenager and their subsequent remarriage affected me enormously and that's without the press attention these girls have to contend with. It affects everything......your sense of security, your esteem. It causes anxiety and I still have abandonment issues 30 years on. The fact they their Father is still not divorced from their Mother is also another issue. There's not even been what I would call a decent period of time for those girls to readjust to new homes, a new partner for Dad and now a new sibling as well? Actually I would say it is tragic for those two little girls and the security of their childhood which is gone now.
