Former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has revealed she’s expecting a daughter.
The pregnant singer has announced the sex of her child by posting a shot of a stork balloon on Instagram and writing: “It’s a girl.”
However the Derry star, 28, who  is seven months’ pregnant, had to tell her followers she hadn’t gone into labour early.
She said: “Thank you for all your lovely messages. She is not born yet. That is a baby shower balloon. We can’t wait until she is. Loads of love!”
Earlier in the week, Nadine told fans online that she loves “how you just assume it is a girl.”
She added that she is doing “amazingly well” and looking forward to welcoming her daughter into the world.
Last summer Nadine announced she was expecting a child – going on to confirm she was back former American Football player Jason Bell.
She said: “I think we just forgot to tell everyone we were together. When I said I was pregnant I thought, ‘Why’s everyone wondering who it is?’
Nadine added she was never as keen as the rest of her Girls Aloud bandmates to start a family.
She said: “I think I was the least likely to be the first to have a baby.
“A couple of the girls had wanted babies for a long time but I said no way. It was a shock but I was really happy.”
During her time off, Nadine has been writing an autobiography about Girls Aloud’s 10 years together.
