Olivia Bowen's fans convinced she's dropped big hint on baby's gender in nursery tour

Olivia Bowen's eagle-eyed fans were convinced she had secretly let slip her unborn baby's gender as she did a nursery tour on Instagram on Friday, ahead of her summer due date.

The Love Island star, 28, gave a sneak peek of the newly-decorated room and her followers soon noticed a selection of coloured baby grows in the clip, prompting them to question whether it was a hint to the baby's sex.

After showing off how she has decorated the room with toys and a full wardrobe of clothes, Olivia took to the comment section to say how she has both a pink and a blue baby grow.

She wrote: "To the eagle eyes out there. We have a pink AND a blue babygrow hanging up ready to take to the hospital to see which he/she ends up coming home in.

"Loved the idea to have both prepped!

"Just before anyone starts thinking we’re having twins or we know what we’re having, we don’t."

Olivia and her husband Alex, who she met on the second series of Love Island, are determined to keep the gender of their baby a surprise until birth, but admitted they were "beside themselves" trying to figure out the sex during a scan recently.

"We went for a scan the other day and we were beside ourselves trying to work it out and I've had a dream that it was a girl, but I've had a dream it was a boy so really didn't help me," Olivia said in an exclusive chat with Mirror Online last month.

"I thought it might be telling me something but I've dreamt both. I think it's just me trying to imagine what it's going to be like. I have no idea. People say "oh, I've had a feeling" but I can't tell. I would love to know."

Meanwhile, Alex said: "I've had a couple of dream about what gender it is, especially the day after you go for a scan that's the time where you could find out, your mind plays on it a little bit more. There's all these wives' tales but nobody knows."

Olivia admitted they were finding it hard not knowing- especially as they have started preparing the nursery and have plans to extend their sprawling home to build a playroom next year.

The reality star added: "We really want the moment at the birth where Alex gets to tell me what it is. That's going to be so lovely, so we're holding out."
