Vogue Williams has accidentally revealed the gender of her unborn baby.

The TV star, 32, is expecting her first child with former Made in Chelsea lothario Spencer Matthews.

But the excited mother-to-be let slip that she is carrying a boy after Irish talk show host Brendan O’Connor teased it out of her.

Williams made the accidental slip up as she talked about her decision to post fitness videos while pregnant.

“If I put a training video up I could have 20 messages saying, ‘You shouldn't be doing this. You shouldn't be training like that’,” she told O’Connor on his panel show Cutting Edge.

“It’s healthy to train during your pregnancy, particularly for me, because I trained the whole way before [becoming pregnant]. It’s like, I’m not eating for two people. My baby is the size of an Heirloom tomato today – I Googled it! So, like, that is not two people! It’s a little tomato.”

O’Connor asked: “A little tomato... Is it happy in there right now on television?”

Williams replied: “He's delighted with himself.”

Pushing for confirmation O’Connor said: “Is he? So it's a boy!”

Williams laughed as she realised her mistake, saying: “I hate you. I knew I would do it. Maybe it’s a boy, maybe it’s a girl! Is it too late?”

Williams and Matthews, who met during their stint on Channel 4's The Jump, tweeted news of the pregnancy last month, weeks after announcing their engagement.

Matthews, 28, popped the question on a West End stage after the loved up couple watched The Lion King.

He described Williams as his “best friend” and declared he “can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her”.
