Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash know the sex of their unborn child - but won't tell anybody

Stacey Solomon has admitted that her and Joe Swash have found out the sex of their unborn child but have vowed to keep it a secret.

The Loose Women panellist, who revealed she is expecting her first child with Swash in February, confessed that the pair were too excited to wait for the birth.

“We found out, we’re really impatient!” Solomon told OK! Online. “We’re not going to tell anyone because it’s not important, but we are excited.”

Solomon added that it was “nice to have something only they and the kids knew” as well as being able to “get prepared” for the impending arrival.

Her comments come a week after Coleen Nolan appeared to let slip that the couple are expecting a baby girl.

Nolan appeared to give the game away during an interview with Hello! in which she repeatedly referred to the unborn child with female pronouns.

“She... That child is going to have so many aunties she won't know what to do with herself,” said Nolan.

Solomon, 29, and Swash, 37, revealed they are expecting their first child together earlier this year in a series of sweet posts on social media.
