Danielle Lloyd has revealed that she is pregnant with her fifth child.

The model, who is already a mum to four boys, shared that she hopes her baby will be a girl, though she acknowledged that health was the most important thing.

Taking to Instagram Danielle said: “So excited to finally announce Baby no5 is on its way. we are all so happy.”

Lloyd told Closer Magazine: “I can’t wait to become a family of seven. I know there’s a risk it’ll be another boy though.

“But of course the main thing I want is for the baby to be healthy. And if it’s not a girl – we’ll just try again after!”

The former Miss England added that her husband, electrician Michael O’Neill, is also hoping to welcome a baby girl.

“We are both just over the moon,” she said. “Please let it be a girl! Michael is really hoping for a girl and the boys are desperate too. They’re convinced it’s a little sister.”

Danielle and Michael got married in 2019. The couple welcomed the family’s latest edition – Ronnie – three year’s ago.

Additionally, Danielle shares her three older boys – Archie (10), Harry (9) and George (7) – with her former husband Jamie O’Hara.

In 2019, Lloyd suffered a miscarriage. She believed that she was carrying a baby girl at the time.

The model has made no secret of her desire to welcome a daughter. Following her miscarriage, Danielle shared that she was thinking of travelling to Dubai to undergo sex selection treatment, which is illegal in the UK. Lockdown restrictions, however, interrupted those plans.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant was then diagnosed with PCOS as well as endometriosis, which can impact a woman’s fertility.

She put off trying for a child for some time to undergo surgery for her condition.
