Pregnant Olivia Bowen confesses she already knows what she will name unborn baby

Ex-Love Island star Olivia Bowen has revealed that she already knows what she will be naming her unborn baby.

The 28-year-old, who met husband Alex, 30, on the ITV2 dating show in 2016, opened up about her pregnancy in a Q&A with fans on Instagram.

Quizzed on whether she had picked out any names for their child, she revealed that she had narrowed down the list to three names.

Sharing a photo of herself cuddling up to husband Alex as she showed off her baby bump, she said: "Yes! We have a boys' name which is actually what my mum was going to call my brother.

"Our girls name, we have two that we like which are very different. One is strong & modern & the other is traditional."

It comes after Olivia announced her pregnancy on New Year's Day in an adorable post on Instagram.

"Happy New… Baby Bowen," she penned alongside a collage of Polaroid pictures.

One snap showed Alex tenderly kissing Olivia's bump, while another showed them posing up together with Olivia holding a pair of tiny booties.

A third snap featured a baby grow and hat with 'Baby Bowen' printed on them, her positive pregnancy test and baby scans.

And Geordie Shore's Nathan Henry wrote: "Congratulations mum and dad are becoming mummy and daddy xxxxx"

Olivia previously hinted that they were ready to start a family, saying: "We’ve been talking about kids recently. We’d love to have one in the near future, which I don’t think we were ready for before.

"It was a bit of a revelation – I’ve got a picture of us when we decided that we’d not worry about contraception any more."

She went on: "We’re not putting any pressure on it, but that’s our next step. I feel like I’m such an un-motherly person, but suddenly something changes. You just grow up. We’ve got so much to look forward to."
