“I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low because I've got a lot of stuff going on."

Keke joked with the crowd during her speech: "People keep coming up to me saying, ‘Congratulations!’ I'm like, 'Shh, can y'all stop?

"I've got a liquor sponsorship on the line. Let the check clear, then we can get to the damn baby shower," she said to the SNL audience.

"Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby because I was a child actor, I just want to say: Look, I'm 29. I'm grown. I have sex. I own a home."

"You know, things adults do! I'm kidding," she joked.

Of course, fans were delighted by the news and Twitter was teeming with excitement for the expectant mum. One user tweeted: "Keke Palmer is a bona fide star in the truest sense. Talent, charisma, heart. Provides joy to the masses!!!! Wishing her so much of that joy she gives us back to her tenfold."
