Mum-to-be Charlotte Crosby has revealed she is expecting a baby girl when she gives birth later this year.
The former Geordie Shore star, 32, shared the news in style with her family and friends on Sunday night - enlisting the help of an aeroplane and a rooftop venue to make the announcement.
Charlotte - who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers - took to Instagram Live to broadcast the reveal to her 7.9million followers at the exact same time as her loved ones at the event.
"Keep moving round everyone," the reality TV star can be heard yelling to her friends and family present at her rooftop party.

After the pregnant star - who showed off her bump in a striking asymmetrical orange jumpsuit- successfully rounded up her guests, an aeroplane circled the rooftop venue to reveal in skywriting the fact Charlotte and Jake are expecting a baby girl.
"It's a girl!" Charlotte excitedly yelled, as pink confetti cannons also filled the air after an almost ten minute build up.
Reacting to the news, the former Celebrity Big Brother star's mum Letitia sweetly said: "I'm just so pleased it's a girl, she always gets what she wants!"

Charlotte revealed she was pregnant in April this year, after previously sharing her fears that she might never become a mother, following her traumatic ectopic pregnancy with former boyfriend Gaz Beadle in 2016.
As she revealed the gender of her unborn baby on Sunday, a whole host of famous faces rushed to congratulate the star on the news.
"Congratulations guys! So happy for you both," Charlotte's former Geordie Shore co-star Marnie Simpson commented underneath the gender reveal video on Instagram.

Parents-to-be Jake and Charlotte went public with their relationship in January 2022, following the reality TV star's split from ex-boyfriend Liam Beaumont in October 2021.
Sharing the news she was pregnant in April, Charlotte shared an emotional montage of clips and pictures of her journey to motherhood so far.

"A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine Is here, it’s mine (and Jakes) and i couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you all……Im [sic] having a baby," the star captioned the video, where she and Jake could be seen telling their respective families.
As the happy couple sit down with their family after revealing the baby news, Charlotte's mum says: "And, like, you just know when you know, don't you? That it's the right person... when we were away this weekend we were talking [and saying], 'It's just so nice that Charlotte's happy and she's settled and we know this is probably going to be the right one."
"I've never known her so happy, Jake," her dad adds.
Charlotte is due to give birth later this year.
