Beyonce Knowles hates the smell of her husband "right now".

The singer-and-actress is currently expecting her first child with spouse Jay-Z and admits pregnancy is affecting her sense of smell so can no longer stand the fragrance the hip-hop superstar wears.

Beyonce - who is currently promoting her own perfume Pulse - told 'Entertainment Tonight Canada': "Oh I smell things differently! My nose is like, 'doot, doot, doot'! I smell everything! It enhances it. If it smells bad, I smell it! My husband's fragrance, his one that I always love, I hate right now. So, thank God I love this one."

While pregnancy is playing havoc with her senses, Beyonce recently revealed she feels there is "nothing more empowering" than being pregnant.

She said: "It is the most powerful creation for you to be able to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift, nothing more empowering.

"You can have goals and dreams and you can grow and be strong and have your strong opinions, and all of these things bring that out in you."
