Love Island's Shaughna Phillipshas revealed the gender of her unborn baby in a new video with boyfriend, Billy Webb.

Shaughna, 31, who shares daughter, Lucia, two, with Webb, revealed the couple were expecting again in June after her boyfriend was allowed a brief home visit while serving a nine-year sentence for Class A drug offences.

The Love Island star never reveals her partner's identity on Instagram and made sure to block out his face as she shared her latest video, filmed in her back garden. Snuggled together with little Lucia alongside them, the couple revealed they were having another girl as their daughter excitedly opened a box to reveal a pink cuddly bunny and a fluffy pink pram suit.

Responding to the adorable clip, Shaughna's famous pals sent their well wishes. Former TOWIE star, Billie Shepherd replied: "Congratulations darling" as Gogglebox's Ellie Warner also congratulated the reality star.

Speaking to the Mirror about trying for her second child, Shaughna admitted she planned the pregnancy, even tracking her ovulation to boost her chances of conceiving.

However, she says she was stunned that her baby dream came true so quickly. “It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided withBilly being home,” the mum-of-one told us.

“I was like, ‘You know what? Why not? Let's just see’. And literally, the next day, I said to Billy, ‘I think I'm pregnant.’”

Shaughna's gut feeling was confirmed ten days later, when multiple pregnancy tests showed up positive. “I found out very, very early on,” she exclusively told us. “I was doing maybe five tests a day. I'm not even exaggerating.”

Shaughna saidBilly, who was jailed in 2023, is currently allowed out on home visits for “a few days” each month. And while she has so far been forced to raise her daughter as a single parent, the star says her partner is due for early release and should be reunited with his family in time for their new arrival.

“I know the date that he's due to be home, but I'm not saying it just because anything could happen,” she says carefully. “But hopefully he will be fully home before my baby is due.”

After missing out on being a hands-on dad first time around, Shaughna is looking forward to having Billy there when the new baby arrives.

“He definitely wanted another one. He didn't get that newborn experience [with Lucia] and I think that's what he wanted,” she shared, joking that she wants Billy to “experience the newborn stage and everything it has to offer, because he does not know what is coming his way.”
