Barbie Hsu: I'm not pregnant, I just ate too much

Taiwanese actress-host Barbie Hsu has said she doesn't intend to have a second child, My Paper reported.

Her retort came after a member of the public snapped an unflattering photo of the star while she was holidaying in Taiwan's Yilan county with her family.

In the photo, Barbie, 38, who is carrying her daughter in one arm, is spotted with a bulging belly, leading fans to speculate that she may be expecting baby number two.

However, the horrified actress swiftly put the rumours to bed, saying: "Oh my, how could such a scary photo exist! I'm not pregnant! I must have eaten too much."

She added: "I don't intend to get pregnant again!"
