Ellie’s Netflix show is centred around her character Kimmy, who is a plucky, wide-eyed believer who has taken up residence in New York City after her rescue, back at the series’ start, from 15 years of imprisonment by an in doomsday prophet.

Ellie Kemper and husband Michael Koman are proud parents.

“I’m like, ‘Ugh. There’s a space violation.’ But also they were just touching my digestion, there was nothing quite there [early on in my pregnancy], just a pea, nothing to fawn over”, she continued.

ET spoke to Kemper about her pregnancy at The Secret Life of Pets premiere back in June, where she admitted that she was still getting the hang of planning for motherhood. “That’s what they tell me”.

After telling Tina, the pair made a decision to hide her pregnancy by telling everyone on set she had suffered a back injury so couldn’t go on the rollercoaster – but Ellie found the lie harder to pull off than she expected.

“I could not act like I had a back injury”, the Bridesmaids star laughed. It was so [hard]. Someone asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ and words escaped me. You can’t do that! “You’re not supposed to do that!”
