Lucy Mecklenburgh has revealed the gender of her second child with Ryan Thomas.
The couple, who are already parents to son Roman, are set to welcome a baby girl.
Lucy said she had an "inkling" that her new baby would be a girl but was not sure and that she "can’t wait" to welcome her second child with former Coronation Street star Ryan.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star told Hello! magazine that the latest addition to the family was due in late spring.
"We can’t wait," the 30-year-old TV personality said.
"I had an inkling that I was having a girl, but I was a bit more unsure than with Roman.
"With him I just knew – I don’t know why but even before we found out, I said: 'I know, one hundred per cent, it’s a boy.'"
On choosing a name, Lucy said again she was more certain with her previous child.
"With Roman we named him as soon as we found out we were having a boy.
"I remember we looked at a list and we both pointed to the same name. But this time, we have a list of 15 names.
"We may just have to wait to meet her. Nothing in the world beats that moment when you hold your baby for the first time.
"You experience this whole new kind of love, and they are your world. Nothing else really matters."
Lucy announced she was expecting again in November when she shared a photo on Instagram.
The adorable post showed her cradling her baby bump while her son looked at his own bare stomach.
"Here we go again," she wrote alongside the sweet snap which was quickly flooded with comments.
Ryan and Lucy, who got engaged in summer 2019, are currently renovating a home in Cheshire after Ryan bought the property without Lucy even viewing it.
Ryan and Lucy welcomed their first child together, Roman Ravello Thomas, in March 2020 - just before the UK went into lockdown.
The pair got engaged last summer during a picture-perfect trip to the Italian cliffside village of Positano on the Amalfi Coast.
Ryan also has an 13-year-old daughter Scarlett with his ex Tina O'Brien, who plays Sarah Barlow in Corrie.
