Coleen, who has previously released clothing lines for Littlewoods and an exercise DVD, has spoken about wishing to have a girl.

In a recent interview with New magazine, she was quoted as saying: “I can imagine having a girl. I’ve got a massive family, so I’m around girls as well as having boys myself.

“I’m not desperate but a girl would be nice as part of the family. It’s not something I’d be upset about or well on.”
