AceShowbiz - Adam Levine almost "pooped his pants" when his first daughter was born. The Maroon 5 frontman is a "nervous eater" so while his wife Behati Prinsloo was in labor, he set about tucking into as much food as possible but his habit almost had disastrous consequences.

Behati shared the story with host Ellen DeGeneres and her audience, which was all first time mothers-to-be, during an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" as part of the show's final Mother's Day episode.

"I had a doula to help me kind of stay out of the hospital as long as possible, so I'm not there too soon, and Adam told me Carson Daly told him that we all need to eat a lot of food, because the dad can pass out if he doesn't eat and the mom also needs food," the mother to 5-year-old Dusty Rose and 4-year-old Gio began recalling.

"I'm like, 'I'm good. I'm in pre-labor here.' So, I'm at home, not feeling like eating, so he orders pasta and pizza, and he eats everything, everything…," she added. "We finally get to the hospital, and I actually waited too late to go to the hospital, so I couldn't get the full epidural, but I'm very happy about that now. So, the whole time I'm in labor, Adam had to go to the bathroom really bad."

"And after Dusty was born, he goes, 'Is there a bathroom?' And the nurse shows him the bathroom right in the delivery room and he goes, 'That's not gonna do it, I need a far away bathroom,' " she continued. "And that's when we realized Adam is a really nervous eater. When he gets nervous, he eats a lot."

The "She Will Be Loved" hitmaker then snuck on stage to surprise his wife with a bouquet of roses, but admitted he was stunned his wife had shared the embarrassing story. He said, "I cannot believe that I sat back there and watched you tell the story of me almost pooping my pants. That was awesome."
