The awkward moment Ellen De Generes ‘forced’ Mariah Carey to reveal she was pregnant has resurfaced on Reddit.
The diva was left squirming during her appearance on Ellen’s US talkshow in 2008.
Ellen popped open a bottle of champagne and to the singer’s horror joked it was pregnancy celebration in a bid to see if she really was up the duff.
Mariah, who had vowed to keep any baby news secret before her appearance, awkwardly refused to sip the fizz, and said: “I can’t believe you did this to me, Ellen. This is peer pressure!”
But the presenter piled on the pressure, asking the Grammy-winner again if she was preggers, to which Carey replied, “I can’t believe her… I didn’t say that. No, no, no. My mother would be at home like, on the computer like, ‘What are you talking about?’ We will let you know when we’re going to have a family.”

Mariah went on to have a miscarriage and refused to discuss what happened until she was pregnant again two years later.
The video has now been shared more than 12,000 times on Reddit and many users rushed to the comments section to slam Ellen for embarrassing Mariah.
One said: “I used to really like her, but she’s really shown what a jerk she is.
Another said: “Good lord I feel so bad for Mariah here. How f****** scummy of Ellen.”
A third added: “Ellen is mean. I don’t watch her anymore.”
Ellen De Generes has been approached by Daily Star Online for comment.
