The cravings of pregnant women are the stuff of legend and despite torrential rain today, nothing was going to come between Jessica Simpson and her takeaway.

The Dukes of Hazzard actress, whose first child is due in a matter of weeks, was caught in a downpour with fiancé Eric Johnson today while leaving the Boneyard Bistro in Los Angeles.

Jessica, who was obviously expecting better weather, was soaked through in a brightly covered maxi dress that clung to her large bump and was wearing flip-flops and sunglasses.

And the reality TV star has not been shy when it has come to discussing her pregnancy or showing off her burgeoning belly.

Recently, the 31-year-old refuted claims that she was carrying twins and explained the cause of her huge belly on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.

She told the host, 'Apparently I have a lot of amniotic fluid, so whenever my water breaks it will be like a fire hydrant!'

Jessica also appeared naked on the cover of April's ELLE magazine and said that the Demi Moore inspired photo was all her idea.

'They didn't even ask me to do that,' she said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show. 'It was my idea. It kind of just seemed a natural thing for me to do.'

'I'm like 170 pounds and I wanted to pose nude,' she explained. 'I try to be like 110 pounds. It's funny to be at your heaviest and feel the most confident. I just take such pride in being a mom! I just love my body more than ever now.'
