"Now I have a beautiful almost 11-month-old boy, but I was pregnant when I made The Witches, so technically he's all over that performance," Anne told hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest.

Anne was then asked how Jonathan had been coping with having a baby brother. "No coping, just love. Now Jack's big enough to wrestle with, and that's brought a new element to their relationship that's really cute," she said.

The mother-of-two also told Daily Mail that she felt "tormented" whenever she saw pregnant women while she was trying for another baby.

She said: "Each time I was trying to get pregnant and it wasn’t going my way, someone else would manage to conceive. I knew intellectually that it didn’t happen just to torment me, but, to be honest, it felt a little bit like it did."
