Nadia Essex reveals she's having a baby boy after saying she'd have to 'get used to' the idea

Pregnant Nadia Essex has revealed she's having a baby boy after a gender reveal party.

The dating coach had told her fans to watch her social media channels on Wednesday night as she would be revealing the happy news online.

She'd previously revealed that she'd seen three different psychics who told her she'd be having a boy.

Nadia, 37, told OK! Online : "I wasn’t expecting a boy, I genuinely thought it was going to be a girl. I don’t think it has sunk in!

"I have no boys names, I know nothing about boys and boys bodily functions and baby boys, but I am actually really excited."

She previously said she was finding out the gender of her baby to prepare herself in case she's having a boy, which she'd be disappointed about.

Nadia, who is 20 weeks pregnant, admitted she'd have to "get used to" the idea.

The former Celebs Go Dating star explained: "For me, it will feel a lot easier for me to have a girl so I really really want to have a girl."

But she seems overwhelmed with happiness to know that her little one is a boy.

She said tonight: "I am looking forward to a brand new chapter and having a little baby boy and bringing a wonderful human being onto this planet because he is a true gift!

Earlier this month Nadia told Mirror Online of her fears she'll end up raising her baby in a walk-in wardrobe after a landlord turned her away "because she's pregnant".

She said a landlord refused to rent his property to her because she's pregnant and because she speaks openly about her mental health.

Nadia moved in with a friend in the summer when circumstances forced her to move out of her property.

Her friend had already turned her spare bedroom into a walk-in wardrobe, but installed a bed when Nadia, who was then unaware she was expecting a baby, needed somewhere to stay.
