EastEnders actor James Bye and wife share gender of FOURTH baby in loved-up video

EastEnders star James Bye and pregnant wife Victoria have shared the gender of their fourth child in a sweet video posted to social media.

The actor who is known for playing Martin Fowler on the BBC soap took to Instagram to share that the "worst kept secret ever" was finally out.

Taking to social media, he and Victoria shared a video with their three sons which saw her stroking her blossoming baby bump while gazing into the camera.

James and Victoria are already parents to Edward, eight, Louis, six, and Hugo, three but they're adding another son into their brood.

The couple penned: "It's official… The worst-kept secret ever is out!

"It's a BOY! And truly… all 5 of us are over the moon…

"Honestly, we've been telling everyone – how we’re supposed to keep his name under wraps (yep we've decided!) is beyond me… We've just been SO excited."

They went on to add: "These little boys are my world & I truly believe - 'you get what you need' (think I saw that on a t-shirt somewhere…) but it's so true.

"I need these crazy guys. They fill my days with laughter, noise (so much noise) & endless cuddles – they also drive me up the wall. But they're my team. And I know how lucky I am…

"I've lost count of how many people ask me if I'm going to 'try for a girl.' And I get it… I've mentioned before, that a previous version of me would've loved a girl... I assumed (before having them) that 'boys would be boys'. Dirt, snails & puppy dog tails. And yes, cards on the table - there is ALOT of dirt.. & snails & all manner of other ungodly faff… but there's also SO much more."

But they went on to hint that they may be welcoming their son sooner than we think, saying: "We've been dreaming of him for so long & to know that he's nearly here... Our little rainbow. It means everything."

The couple were flooded with love and celebratory messages with Vicki Broadbent gushing: "So beautiful, congrats! My gentle boys are a breeze to raise compared to my feral daughter Florence. She never stops! 4 boys. Such a blessing. You look amazing btw x."

"Congrats to you both!!!! miss ya @jimmybye," typed James' EastEnders co-star Gurlaine Kaur Garcha.

Before a third person added: "Congratulations to you all, as a mother of 6 boys I can safely say I wouldn't change it for the world."
