CHRIS MARTIN - CAREFUL CHRIS BANS GWYNETH'S SCOOTER

Concerned dad-to-be CHRIS MARTIN has banned wife GWYNETH PALTROW from riding her scooter around London.

The sensitive COLDPLAY frontman is worried that his pregnant spouse might have an accident while negotiating the capital's streets.

A source says, "Chris is terrified something will happen to Gwyneth and the baby, and since she's become pregnant he's been ultra-protective.

"Gwyneth keeps telling him not to worry and stop fussing, but she has agreed to use the car just to keep him happy."

The baby, which will be the first for both parents, is due next summer (04).
