Speaking about her experience with pregnancy, the teenager admitted she felt "disgusting" in the early weeks.
"I felt very, very sick for a long time. It still comes back sometimes now, it is really really disgusting and it literally ruins your whole day," Brownlee explained.
"I do not know why they call it morning sickness because it lasted all day for me, all day long. Thankfully, it is sort of going away a little bit."
