Shaughna Phillips has revealed the gender of her second baby in a sweet new Instagram video she shared on Tuesday.
The Love Island star, 31, is expecting a baby girl with her jailed boyfriend Billy Webb, who is also father to her two-year-old daughter, Lucia.
Following the birth of Lucia in April 2023, Billy, 29, was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000.
Currently held in a Category D prison, he’s been allowed home visits for a few days each month.
Thrilled to announce the gender, Shaughna posted a video of a fury pink baby grow ahead of welcoming her baby girl.
Sharing her excitement, she told Closer magazine: ‘I’m going to be a girl mum – I can’t believe it. I really can’t, because I was absolutely convinced I was having a boy!’

‘It was a huge shock, it took me a minute to be like “Right okay”. Because not only did I think it was a boy, but I did want a boy. I thought if I had one of each I am done, as I’ll have the best of both’, she added.
‘I can’t imagine having a boy now and I won’t try again – two is perfect. Having three is expensive.’
Shaughna recently revealed she got to a point where she was doing pregnancy tests ‘seven times a day’ while opening up about her very unexpected second pregnancy.
Admitting she wasn’t expecting to get pregnant so quickly on her ‘first attempt’, the TV star explained she ‘kept Clear Blue in business’ due to the very high amount of tests she ordered.
‘Then it got to the point where, because I was testing so much, I would do one and not even think twice about it because I was doing them about seven times a day,’ she told The Sun.
Yet Shaughna was shocked to see the positive line when she found out she was pregnant and felt ‘over the moon’, calling herself ‘very lucky’.
She admitted she could barely believe it and decided to conduct yet another test to make sure the news was definite.
‘But I just really didn’t expect it’d be the first try. So, it was a shock. It was still a shock, even though I was trying,’

‘The next day I did another and I thought right, I’m going to film this, and it came up with a stronger line, and even then I was still in shock.’
The TV personality recently revealed how she planned her pregnancy with Billy after her ovulation period had coincided with him being home from prison.
Speaking to the Mirror last month, Shaughna said: ‘It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided with Billy being home.
‘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 and Billy have been enjoying family days out over the past seven months while he has been on day release from an open prison.
An insider said: ‘Billy has been in a Category D prison, which means he has been able to spend a fair bit of time with Shaughna.
Just earlier this month, Shaughna said she’s hoping her jailed boyfriend will be released from prison before the arrival of her second child.

And Shaughna has revealed he may be granted early release, possibly making it home in time for the birth.
She told New! magazine: ‘I know the date he’s due to be home but, but I’m not saying anything it just because anything could happen. But hopefully [he] will be fully home before my baby is due.’
The reality star said she’s looking forward to having ‘someone there’ this time around, as Billy missed out on the early moments with Lucia – from cuddles to sleepless nights.
‘He definitely wanted another one,’ Shaughna shared. ‘He didn’t get that newborn experience with Lucia, and I think that’s what he really wanted.’
