angelina jolieJane Seymour has said she wasn’t in the least bit surprised that Angelina Jolie has had to go into hospital ahead of the birth of her twins - because the Wanted star is just so thin.

Jane, who played Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman, told OK magazine: “My advice to her is to put some weight on.

“I think she needs to keep putting on weight so she can feed those babies. I don’t think she should think twice. She hasn’t put on enough weight.”

Jane gave birth to her own twins - John and Kristopher - in 1995 and nearly died during the delivery: “I nearly died having the twins. I had preclampsia, which is toxemia, and I had to have an emergency C-section and I almost lost my life.

“So my advice to [Angelina] is to listen to your doctors and if they say bed rest and they say blood pressure cuff every hour and they say whatever medication they say, you should take it very seriously.”

Angelina checked into the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France at the start of the month and is expected to give birth in “the weeks to come“.
