(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Snooki will not be living with her Jersey Shore co-stars in the newest season of the hit show.

The reality TV star is expecting her first child with her fianc Jionni LaValle. Snooki - real name Nicole Polizzi - is already five months along and TMZ reports that although she'll be included in the newest season of Jersey Shore, she'll have her personal space throughout filming.

The US website claims that "Snooki will not be shacking up with her fellow castmates this summer - instead getting her own private nest nearby."

A source added that the mother-to-be is "taking her pregnancy very seriously", which is why she's choosing to separate herself from the crazy, alcohol-fuelled escapades the cast is renowned for.

Jersey Shore season six is scheduled to shoot between May 22 and July 7.

It was recently revealed that Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino has been signed for another season of Jersey Shore. He admitted himself into the Cirque Lodge rehab facility several weeks ago to "get control of a prescription medication problem", but will return for season six. (C) Cover Media
