In a video captioned ‘I guess it’s good? But weird’, Gillan said: ‘Anyone else have these pregnancy cravings of just raw vegetables?’
The star, who then proceeded to take a large bite out of what appeared to be a peeled squash, declared: ‘I just can’t get enough.’
In a different video posted to TikTok last month, Gillan discussed another new culinary obsession - quiche.

Aside from raw veg and quiche, Gillan has also spoken publicly about her less niche cravings, sharing that digestive biscuits are now ‘all I can think about’, despite having ‘never liked’ the popular snack at any point during her ‘entire life’.
The star, well known for her role of Amy Pond, a companion to the eleventh Doctor in popular science fiction television series Doctor Who, debuted her bump in September on the red carpet at The Life of Chuck premiere in Canada.

In 2018, Gillan revealed her desire to eventually have children.

Gillan, regarded as one of Scotland’s biggest Hollywood stars, boasts an Instagram following of 7.7 million and was named the third-highest grossing star at the box office in 2019 behind Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L Jackson.
She relocated to California in 2013, where she currently resides with her husband, however, has spoken publicly about how she still considers Inverness as home and hopes to return later in life.
Speaking on the Radio Times Podcast in June, Gillan said: ‘I’m homesick every single day of my life.
‘I think there’s a possibility that I’ll come back at some point. I’ve made my house very Scottish-looking; it doesn’t feel like I’m in LA at all. It reminds me of a granny’s home in Scotland - which is what I am in my soul.’
