Inside Perrie Edwards' baby shower as party hints at gender reveal for first child

Perrie Edwards gathered with friends and family on Saturday for a party to celebrate her pregnancy.

The expectant first time mum and Little Mix star announced her pregnancy last month when she shared pictures of her and footballer other half Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain holding her baby bump.

She captioned the black and white photos: "So happy to be on this wild journey with my soulmate.

"Me + Him = You. We can’t wait to meet you baby Ox!"

And it looks like Perrie and Alex were about to share the gender of their first child with their nearest and dearest as there were both pink and blue accessories on show in the pictures of her baby shower that South Shields star Perrie shared on her Instagram story on Saturday afternoon.

One of the elaborate displays featured blue balloons but then a striking cake, topped with the words 'Oh Baby' had pink roses delicately placed on it.

Another shot Perrie shared to her Insta story saw a white balloon adorned with the words Baby Ox in gold writing.

If Perrie follows in the footsteps of many other expectant parents, it could be what was inside that balloon that revealed all on the baby's gender.

As well as balloons, Perrie posted a host of snaps of some very tasting sharing boards from Star Grazing, with cold cuts of meat, olives, cheese and baked pastries studding the pretty plates.

Another platter was covered with strawberries, oranges, lemons, kiwis, grapes, passionfruit and blackberries.

Earlier this week Perrie, who first shot to fame on The X Factor in 2011 when she was put into eventual winners Little Mix, received a string of positive comments for shots she shared of herself showing off her growing bump in the sun.

Boyfriend and Liverpool player Alex reacted with a series of heart eye emojis while ex Geordie Shore star and I'm A Celebrity winner Vicky Pattison commented: "BABE."

A fan told her: "You look incredible" and, in firm agreement, another wrote: "You're glowing"
