The sister of EastEnders star Jessie Wallace has revealed that she is in a relationship with a cage-fighter who is a member of the travelling community.
Former Page Three model Danielle Mason also confirmed that she and Tony Giles were expecting their first baby, which is due in August.
However the 26-year-old added that the relationship had caused problems with Tony's family - who are none too keen on the fact that she does not come from a gypsy background.

'I've kind of met his family but they completely ignored me,' Danielle told the Daily Star.
She added that they did not seem to approve of Tony, 26, having a relationship with a 'gorger' - which is the term given to people from outside of the traveller community.
Tony - who is also 26 - grew up on a caravan site in Virginia Water, Surrey, and told the paper that their romance - and the fact they were unmarried but expecting a baby - had caused 'a little bit of upset'.
Growing bump: Former glamour model Danielle revealed that she is due to give birth to the cage-fighter's baby in August
'I don’t think we would have had time to get married before she got pregnant. It was a short period of time,' Tony said.
'But once she’s had the baby and got her figure back, that’s when we’ll start planning a nice big wedding. And by that time, hopefully, everyone will be happy for us.
Danielle, meanwhile, revealed that her family 'really liked' Tony, but said that Jessie - who recently returned to EastEnders as Kat Moon - had not met him yet.
Happy together: Tony said the couple will plan a big wedding once Danielle has had her baby - and hopes his family will accept her)
The sisters publicly fell out over one of Danielle's former boyfriends a few years ago - and Danielle admitted that it had affected her relationship with the 39-year-old.
'But even though me and Jessie are not as close as we used to be, I have said that I would like her, my sister Joanne and my other sister Debbie to be godparents, so she should be at the christening'
The couple met in 2009 ago when Danielle was presenting cage fights - at around the same time that Tony had a falling-out with Katie Price's ex-husband Alex Reid, who is also a cage-fighter. However their gypsy-style brawl took place out of the cage.

'He got a little bit rude so I put him in his place,' Tony recalled. 'He got a bit big-headed, walking about with his chest poked out.
'There were a lot of gypsies there who’d come to support my fight so when it kicked off they backed me up,' he added.
'It resulted in Alex falling over and then running out of the building, leaving Katie behind. The next time I saw him he was like a little jelly baby, apologising. He’s not much of a fighter.
'I really want to get him in the cage though.'
