Expectant mother Danielle Lloyd learned she is going to have another boy as she underwent a scan live on TV.
She already has three sons and, although she previously admitted she would love to have a girl, she said she was delighted with the news.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star appeared on ITV’s Loose Women and had the scan during the broadcast while surrounded by the programme’s panellists, Christine Lampard, Nadia Sawalha, Jane Moore and Coleen Nolan.

However, the joyful moment has been somewhat tarnished by critics of Danielle, who claim she had already had a scan to determine the sex of her baby.
The model fired back after WAGs Maria Fowler and Nicola McLean (sparring partner of old) accused her of knowing her baby’s sex before her TV appearance.
Ex-TOWIE star Maria linked to a since-deleted tweet from clinic Miracle Progress, which appeared to announced that Danielle’s baby after a scan THEY had carried out.
“Ah so it’s true you did the gender scan for her before the loose women one…” Maria wrote. “I didn’t think she looked surprised.”
Nicola then chimed in: “What??? So the sex wasn’t found out live on loose women?”
Yeah i found out live nicola,” Danielle spat back. “Are u piping up again for 5 mins do not talk about mine and my partners son did u get payed 4 big bro this time.”
The episode of Loose Women in question saw the sex of the tot first revealed to Nadia by the doctor carrying out the scan, and the TV presenter then handed Danielle a blue balloon to unveil the gender.
Danielle, 33, said: “I’m so happy. I’m excited now, at least I know and I can prepare myself for another messy boy in the house.”
Asked what she is going to tell her sons, who are “desperate” for a little sister, she said: “I’m going to have to go again!”
Former Miss England Danielle is expecting her fourth child with fiance Michael O’Neill, while her three sons – Archie, Harry and George – are from her marriage to footballer Jamie O’Hara.
Earlier in the programme, Danielle said: “I’d love to have a little girl, it would be nice.”
She added: “Obviously it’s Michael’s first baby so he doesn’t really mind, and I just think the same, as long as it’s healthy. We’re really excited and we can’t wait.”
Danielle also revealed that one of her sons wanted to call the baby Donald Trump because “he just loves the word ‘trump’”.
She added: “They are desperate for a girl; I think Archie is fed up with these boys.
