Mariah Carey was 'extremely uncomfortable' as Ellen DeGeneres 'forced' her to share pregnancy

Mariah Carey has reflected on being 'forced' to reveal her pregnancy during an awkward interview with Ellen DeGeneres. In 2008, the hitmaker appeared on The Ellen Show - amid rumours she was expecting a baby with ex Nick Cannon, who she had wed 7-months prior - and was probed by the talk show host about them starting a family. Mariah, 50, did not want to discuss if she was expecting so Ellen decided that the best way to see if Mariah was genuinely pregnant was to make her drink alcohol in a proposed toast.

The award-winning musician, who suffered a miscarriage weeks after the interview, tried to protect herself at the time by saying it was too early to drink and joked that booze was calorific - to which Ellen whooped in delight that she was pregnant and the studio audience went wild. And now, the star has spoken out on dealing with the "extremely uncomfortable" moment and admitted that is was hard to grapple with.
