Kym Marsh beams as she discovers sex of second grandchild in family reveal

Kym Marsh has shared the moment she discovered the sex of her unborn grandchild.

In January the BBC Morning Live presenter revealed the happy news that her son David and his fiancee are expecting their first child together.

When sharing the news, proud mum Kym said: "I have been bursting to share this news for AGES!!!! I’m so very proud to announce I am gonna be a 'YaYa' again!!!

"My wonderful son @cunliffe890 and his equally wonderful fiancée @courtneyleac are expecting their first child in August! I am so very proud of you both and I cannot wait to meet my newest grandchild!! I love you all so much."

Kym is already a grandma - or YaYa as she likes to be known - to Emilly's son, Teddy, who is now two.

And another little boy is set to join the family.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Kym shared a video of the moment David, who she shares with former partner Dave Cunliffe, let off a confetti cannon to reveal he and his partner Courtney Leach were expecting a baby boy.

The crowd of family and friends let out huge screams and cheers as the cannon popped to show them with blue confetti as the parents-to-be bounced up a down in excitement for sharing a tight embrace.

Kym was then seen in the 30-second clip rushing to congratulate her son and her future daughter-in-law as Courtney and David also got engaged back in November.

"It’s a boy!!!!" the 45-year-old former Coronation Street star shared alongside the joyous video. "Huge congratulations to my @cunliffe890 @courtneyleac I cannot wait to meet my new grandson!!!"

Kym's mum Pauline was among those contributing to the comments, writing: "Congratulations David and Courtney, can’t wait to meet my new great grandson, love you both so much."

Fans were also sharing their congratulatory messages.

"Oh this is so wholesome! Congratulations to you all," @tanishamullaney said.

"Omg how wonderful," @debbiebaldwin00 commented.

@heavenly.homeware added: "This is so lovely to see @marsh_kym, congratulations to you all."

David and Courtney posed together on the red carpet at Manchester Opera House last month ahead of becoming parents in August.

They were joined by Kym's eldest daughter Emily Cunliffe and her parents Pauline and Dave Marsh as they headed to see Kym perform in Fatal Attraction in her home city.
