And the two mums previously announced the sex of their baby, though acknowledged the issues that gender reveals create around stereotypes, especially as members of the LGBTQ community.

Ella previously said: “I thought this was a good opportunity to bring awareness to the difference between sex and gender and make it less stereotypical.

“We started off with the pink and blue then got rid of it.”

“I had no clue about my sexuality when I was younger. For ages, I genuinely just thought that everyone thought that women were attractive, and it was normal, and I didn’t fancy them.

“I just thought they were attractive and that’s what everyone thought.”

But she later realised what was happening when he friends made it clear that wasn’t the norm, and that she “must be bisexual”.

Nicola became part of Strictly’s first same-sex pairing in 2020 with Katya Jones, but they were forced to withdraw due to Covid.
