Celebrity couple Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon announced they were expecting their first child together last month, and ever since the couple have been delighting fans with updates.

However, some eagle-eyed fans thought Joe had accidentally given away his unborn baby's gender over the weekend, whilst watching the Arsenal Vs Tottenham football match. Sharing a video of himself celebrating an Arsenal goal, Joe shouted 'Wooo, yeah boy!" in the video, leading some fans to comment thinking it was about the baby's gender.

One added, 'Congratulations 💙', with another writing, 'YAY !!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Wonderful news @realjoeswashy @staceysolomon sending big huge hugs to you both xxxx'. sic

After the comments continued to flood in, Joe was forced to deny the video was about his unborn child, and instead just about a local football derby.

Taking to his Instagram Story, Joe said, "Just so you know I didn't announce the gender of mine and Stacey's baby. I was actually saying 'yeah boy' as Arsenal had scored.

"Just to get that straight as she would kill me."

Oh Joe! 🙈

It comes after Joe and Stacey announced their baby news back in February. Sharing a number of photos of Stacey asleep, Joe wrote, 'Have been driving myself mad thinking that she’s bored senseless of me and can’t stand to be awake for longer than 10 minutes of my company... So you can imagine my delight to find out that she still loves me and my company very much she’s just been growing a baby.

'I can’t begin to describe how happy we are to be able to share this wonderful news. We’ve been so blessed with 3 incredible children that we’ve had the privilege of raising and we are forever grateful to have the chance to become parents to another wonderful child. It’s all very overwhelming and emotional and we couldn’t be happier right now.' sic

Stacey, who is a regular panellist on Loose Women, later shared a baby scan, writing, 'Every time I go to write anything I sob so... what he said @realjoeswashy 💜'. sic

After the cute announcement, the loved-up pair appeared on Loose Women, where Stacey couldn't hold back her tears of joy.

The new arrival will be the couple's first child together, but Stacey is already a mum to two boys, 10-year-old Zachary and six-year-old Leighton. Joe is also a dad to his son Harry, whom he shares with his ex.
