She told Grazia: ‘It feels weird to be saying this because we’ve only just told the family, but we’re actually having a little girl!
‘Having got five nephews, we were convinced we were going to be having a little boy as well, but we’re over the moon to find out it’s a little girl.
‘We would have been happy either way obviously and I just want her to grow up knowing that she can be exactly who she wants to be. I want her to know that the things that she goes to bed dreaming of can come true.’
The star also took to Instagram at the time to share heart-warming footage of the moment she and Stuart learned that they were having a daughter.
