Big Brother star Chanelle Hayes has confirmed that she is having a baby boy with her boyfriend, Ryan Oates!
Chanelle confirmed that she was expecting her second child back in March on her Instagram. She also confirmed it through her spokesperson, who said: “I’m delighted to confirm that Chanelle Hayes is pregnant with her second child. Although the news came as some surprise, Chanelle, her partner Ryan and son Blakely are incredibly excited to welcome the new arrival later this year.”
She is already a mum to her six-year-old son Blakely, from a previous relationship.
Despite being convinced that she was going to have a little girl, it turns out Chanelle will be welcoming a boy in September instead.
Although Chanelle was hoping for a girl in order to even things out in her family, gender-wise, she is still thrilled to give Blakely a little brother.
“My two boys can’t wait either,” she said. “Ryan is really sporty so will be great with him and Blakely is saving up his pocket money to buy gifts for his little brother.”
Chanelle recently made the headlines as she was forced to undergo hours of testing by doctors to determine whether she has gestational diabetes, as her weight had pushed her into the high-risk bracket. This could then lead to premature labour and pre-eclampsia. Chanelle has since been on a journey to get healthy.
We hope everything goes smoothly for the happy couple and many congratulations to them both!
