Chris Coleman bans pregnant fiancee Charlotte Jackson from Wales match

Coleman bans fiancee from Wales match

Wales manager Chris Coleman has banned his eight-month pregnant fiancee from travelling to Belgium to watch his side's latest Euro 2016 qualifier.

Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson is due to give birth to the couple's first child in the first week of December, but had been planning on taking the Eurostar to the match.

Coleman told The Mirror: "Charlotte was talking about jumping on the train, but I said, 'Listen, a lot of my mates want you to jump on the train to Wales so the baby is Welsh, never mind having it in the tunnel!'

"She wanted to come to Belgium but I said, 'No'. It's too much of a risk. She is due in the first week of December so touch wood she can hold on a bit longer."

Coleman and Jackson are due to get married in May next year.
