Danielle Lloyd is pregnant with her fifth child.
The model who is mother to sons Archie, 10, Harry, nine, and George, seven, who she shares with her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara, and Ronnie, three, with Michael O’Neill, has been open about her desire to have a daughter.
It would seem Michael is also desperate for their second child together to be a girl too.
The pair were so keen to ensure that baby number five would be a daughter, that they even considered gender selection treatment to ensure their chances – this process is illegal in the UK.
Instead they opted to conceive naturally but have everything crossed that their newborn will be a female.
Speaking to Closer, Danielle said: “I can’t wait to become a family of seven.
“I know there’s a risk it’ll be another boy though – having five boys would be totally mad!
“But, of course, the main thing I want is for the baby to be healthy. And if it’s not a girl – we’ll just try again after!”
In 2018, Danielle explained to the same publication that her own bond with her mum had only strengthened her yearning to have the same relationship with her own daughter.
“My mum and I are so close. There’s just nothing like a mother-daughter bond.
“When they grow up, my boys will leave me – but I don’t think a girl ever really drifts from her mum.”

Just one year after speaking to the magazine and giving birth to son Ronnie, Danielle tragically suffered a miscarriage.
The former Big Brother star was eight weeks pregnant when she’d established her heartbreaking loss.
Michael and Danielle wanted to understand why they had lost their baby at eight weeks and so the model opted to undergo an operation.
Danielle agreed to have a laparoscopy after doctors had advised going through the procedure if she hoped to try for another baby.

However, the mum-of-four sons was left devastated after her results failed to pin a root cause.
In an interview with New! Magazine, Danielle detailed her worry after her tests were inconclusive but wondered if her endometriosis could have been the problem.
She said: “I know to some people who might not even have one child, it will sound a little bit selfish but I’d really like one more
“I felt disheartened. It was bittersweet because obviously nobody wants anything wrong with them but I’d got it into my head that it was going to be sorted and then I could think about having a baby.
“I blamed the endometriosis for my miscarriage and thought when that went, everything else would be OK.
“To then get the news that there’s nothing there, I thought, what is wrong then? Why can I not get pregnant, am I just getting older?”
