Hollyoaks star Gary Lucy has confirmed the sex of his baby with Love Island’s Laura Anderson.

The soap star is expecting his first child with ex-girlfriend Laura, and took to social media today (March 23) to provide an update for fans.

Gary shared a recent photo of a scan and a graphic that reads 'Daddy's Little Girl' on his Instagram Story, confirming that he and Laura would be welcoming a baby girl into the world.

Alongside the snaps, he wrote: "For everyone that's been asking... Let's hope she inherits her mother's looks."

Gary and Laura announced that they were expecting their first child together last month, although news of their split emerged soon after.

Gary, who already shares four children with his ex-wife Natasha Gray, initially said that their relationship ended because he refused to move from Essex to Scotland with Laura.

"Laura did want me to move but I have my responsibilities here," he commented. "I have four kids and all the things that go along with that, so it's very difficult, if not impossible, to uproot at this time."

However, Laura later denied Gary's claims, telling her Instagram followers: "Our plan was for me to move to Essex to start our family, which I was more than happy to do.

"However, since the breakdown of our relationship, I have remained at home in Scotland. My priority is bringing my baby up in a calm and stable environment.

"I never asked or expected Gary to move to Scotland. I fully support him living in Essex to be close to his four amazing children."
