Rhian Sugden showed off her baby bump in a blue knit crop top set after revealing she is expecting a boy.
Featuring on the cover of Closer magazine, the 37-year-old model admitted it was ‘always her dream’ to have a son and is due to welcome her baby boy on May 4.
Rhian – who wants to have a second baby ‘soon’ after spending £150,000 on eight rounds of IVF – said she was ‘over the moon’ about the news and that she and husband of five years, actor Oliver Mellor, 42, had already picked out a couple of potential names.
The star told Closer: ‘It was always my dream to have a little boy, I don’t know why but I’ve always imagined having a mini football team.
‘Oliver never said what he wanted, but when we found out it was a boy, he had the biggest smile on his face. We’ve already decorated the nursery and chosen a few names – we like Tommy and George so far.’

Rhian also opened up on her arduous journey to motherhood, admitting she suffered from depression, anxiety and an eating disorder while trying to get pregnant.
She said: ‘I’d dread Mother’s Day or when friends shared news about their pregnancies because it wasn’t working for me. I became brainwashed.
‘Every time I had my period, I’d be like, “Ugh – I’m not pregnant again”, and felt low for the rest of the month.’
Rhian added that she and Oliver convinced themselves they weren’t going to be able to conceived and ‘started to plan a good life without kids’.
After finally falling pregnant, she gushed that their son was ‘a miracle’ and that she wants to have another child as soon as possible.
She joked that her pregnancy has caused the couple to get inventive with their sex positions due to her bump and not being allowed on her back.
Rhian said that while they were ‘still very active in the bedroom’, their sex life is ‘a bit weird’ as Oliver doesn’t like the thought of the baby watching from inside her tummy.
It comes after she revealed that her OnlyFans page funded her £150,000 IVF treatment, explaining she was earning up to £1,000 a day for posting topless or nude photos on the site.

Rhian told The Sun: ‘I’ve got good boobs and I’m not ashamed of OnlyFans. I’ve made more money on OnlyFans than I have in my whole career.’
‘There are so many topless pictures of me out there, and I thought why not? I was earning a few thousand a day,’ she continued.

‘Ollie thinks it’s a bizarre concept that all these men will pay money to see his wife’s boobs, and he gets the benefits of IVF.’
Rhian also admitted that she is still very undecided over whether she is going to continue OnlyFans once their baby arrives.
She said she feels that despite the ‘good money’, she isn’t sure how she will feel once her baby is born.
Rhian shot to fame in 2010 when her ‘texting affair’ with the married Vernon Kay was revealed. Vernon’s marriage to Tess Daly survived the scandal.
The Page 3 glamour model, who has also been linked to ‘cancelled’ Russell Brand, married Oliver in 2018.
