Stacey Solomon drops hint on baby's gender as she enters row with Joe Swash over unborn child's face after 'amazing' scan

Stacey Solomon appears to have hinted at the gender of her fifth child just a week after revealing she was eight months pregnant. The Sort Your Life Out host stunned fans over the weekend when she gave a first look at her blossoming baby bump.

It is then the mum-of-four confirmed that she and her husband Joe Swash, who she married in a stunning ceremony in the garden of their family home in July, had just a month to go until their new bundle of joy was due to make their appearance.

In the snaps, Stacey looked glowing as she posed in a grey Calvin Klein bra and baggy jeans. Former EastEnders star Joe also featured in one of the snaps as the newly married couple gazed down and Stacey's plump stomach. "Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought," Loose Women star Stacey shared.

The 33-year-old went on: "When we found out we still wanted to have that first few months you usually would to adjust and get excited and enjoy it to ourselves, but that didn’t leave us with very long left. So this time next month we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle. So grateful."

She has since had to clear up confusion with fans who thought she meant that she discovered she was expecting at eight months. In an Instagram Q&A, Stacey said: "I must be saying it wrong. I mean, we didn't just find out three days ago when I looked down and was like 'oh, that's not my usual evening bloat. What's going on?' But when we did find out it was past the point people would usually tell people."

But now it appears the pregnant TV star has hinted she's having a baby boy as she appeared to refer to the baby as 'he' in her latest video. Stacey and Joe already share one-year-old daughter Rose and son Rex, three, while Stacey has sons Zachary and Leighton and Joe has son Harry from previous relationships.

Stacey took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (January 3) with a fresh update on her pregnancy after heading for a scan with Joe. The former X Factor finalist and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here winner shared how the sonographer managed to get an 'amazing' picture of their unborn child.

However, it led to a bit of a debate between the couple. "We got to see baby yesterday," the Tap to Tidy author wrote on her Instagram Story. "And the lady at the hospital who scanned me was incredible, she got the most amazing picture of baby's lips and nose. Me and Joe are arguing over whose lips it's got. I'll let you decide..."

Speaking in the video directly to her millions of followers, Stacey expanded: "Me and Joe are just sat here having a full-blown discussion over whose lips the baby's got because yesterday we got to have a scan and the sonographer lady was so incredible, she got the most amazing picture of its mouth and nose.

"And Joe thinks it's got his mouth, and I think it's got my lips..." Cutting into his wife's explanation, Joe, 40, called out: "100 per cent [mine]." Stacey and Joe then attempted to purse their lips so fans could get a good look at the couple's mouths, but the pair continued to row.

"Whose mouth do you think it's got?" Stacey asked before asking her husband: "What is that face? What the hell? Just a normal relaxed face, why do you look like a carp?" Stacey laughed as Joe complained: "Yeah but my lips are the same colour as my skin so you can't even see my lips." Stacey then replied with a giggle: "That's not my fault."

Stacey then became emotional as she showed off the intricate scan photos which gave a clear look at the unborn baby's nose and mouth. "How incredible. That beautiful face... we can't wait to see you baby..." she wrote. "This little one looks so different from all of my other scans. But whose lips are those?"
