Pregnant Shaughna Phillips explains why boyfriend won't be in delivery room with her

Pregnant Shaughna Phillips revealed her boyfriend won't be in the delivery room with her when she gives birth.

The Love Island star is heavily pregnant with her first child with her partner Billy.

Shaughna recently said her boyfriend's identity will be hidden from the public as it is 'his choice'.

And now, she explained Billy's mum will be by her side when it's time to give birth as he is 'squeamish around blood'.

The 28-year-old said in her OK! magazine column: "I want my mum and Billy to be my birthing partners, but I think my boyfriend may have a difficult time.

"He's just going to want to know when the baby's here rather than actually being in the delivery room with me.

He's one of those people who are actually squeamish around blood. There have been times before where I've had surgery and needed help, but he just couldn't do it."

"'l'll probably have his mum somewhere waiting just in case he goes down," she joked.

Meanwhile, the star opened up about her mystery boyfriend during a Q&A on her Instagram page.

The Love Island star, who is due in March, has so far kept quiet about her baby daddy - but fans want to know who he is.

One of Shaughna's followers asked: "Why are you so closed off / secret when it comes to your boyfriend and love life? You don’t share much."

Responding to the so-called mystery, the mum-to-be replied: "It’s my boyfriend’s personal choice to not be posted on my social media so I respect it.

"Whether he changes his mind in the future I don’t know.

"But for now he would rather not and that’s okay with me, he doesn’t have any social media at all! I guess I make up for the both of us."

Shaughna was asked by another curious fan if her child would be on social media with the influencer confirming she had planned to share pics of her baby.

The TV personality said: "Truthfully, I don't really know the answer. As it stands, I plan on sharing pictures of my baby, but that could change once the baby is here."

She announced the news of her pregnancy in October by posting a video of her ultrasound on Instagram.
