The 39-year-old singer is expecting her first child with husband Rohan this summer but is so excited about their impending arrival that she wants to find out if it will be a boy or a girl as soon as possible.

She said: "I'm too curious. It's enough of a surprise on the day."

Although the singer-songwriter is impatient to discover the sex of her baby, Dido revealed she is finding pregnancy quite relaxing.

She said: "There's a real calmness about it which I think is really nice. Your decisions are sort of made for you. You just have this priority that is unchangeable and I think that's a great calmness that comes from that."

Along with changes in her personal life, Dido is also busy in her professional life at the moment too. Her song 'If I Rise' from the film '127 Hours' was nominated for an Academy Award last month, and her new album is almost completed.

She said: "I'm nearly done. Music will just start coming out as this year goes on."
