Married at First Sight UK star Gemma Rose Barnes has announced she is expecting a baby, and has revealed the sex in a video.

The star, who appeared in last year's series of the reality show, took to Instagram to share a series of clips, including a mock-up newspaper with the headline: "Baby on the way."

A clip also showed her popping a balloon with partner Jordan Bishop as blue confetti comes out, confirming that it will be a boy.

In a follow-up post, Gemma shared the baby scan, writing: "Absolutely over the moon to share this beautiful adventure with such a supportive and kind partner who makes me cry happy tears daily, talking to baby and being so present.

"I am so blessed to have you and our family @jordanbish11."

The new baby will be the star's third child, after previously welcoming two boys.

Gemma was partnered on Married at First Sight with Matt Murray, though they split before the final decision – and Matt ended up finishing the show with Whitney Hughes.

Meanwhile, last year Gemma revealed she had an emergency stint in hospital, saying she had been in a "bad way" physically.

"Thank you for every one of my kind messages, I'm so thankful for you all."
