Shaughna Phillips reveals the gender of her baby in sweet new video as she prepares to welcome her second child with jailed boyfriend Billy Webb
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.
Following the birth of Lucia in April 2023, Billy was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000.
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.'

Tom Brady's Built in Birmingham is an embarrassing attempt at copying Wrexham
'Probably what he knows about football you could put on a postage stamp,' says a Birmingham City fan. He might be joking but Tom Brady – the man with a greater grounding in the NFL than the EFL – is unaware the other club in the city is called Aston Villa and wasn't told not to pronounce the 'h' in Birmingham. At one stage, in the disastrous first season of Brady's minority ownership, he shows he knows something. 'We lose every f***ing match,' he laments. Built in Birmingham, and even the name is a clue to its objectives, is more about Tom Brady and Tommy Shelby – the Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight features regularly – than John Eustace and John Ruddy. Eustace, infamously, was fired by the new owners Knighthead Capital with Birmingham sixth in the Championship. 'Together we will not fail,' declares chair Tom Wagner. They start off by failing, though possibly not together, given the revolving door to the manager's office. But editorially, they fail too (and it is them, given that Brady and Wagner are executive producers). As any connoisseur of such documentaries knows, the bad years make for more entertaining television than the good. But in a five-part series, one is devoted to the hubristic demotion of 2023-24, four to the bankrolled cruise through League One. And, given some other owners are asset-strippers, or burden clubs with debt, or have other nefarious purposes, it is worth noting that Knighthead has invested. Brady's manager is damning of their inheritance. 'They have a f***ng shipping container as their lead performance centre,' he says, and Wagner and co have improved facilities. They are unashamedly ambitious – 'we will get to the Prem, it is just a question of when, not if', says Wagner, who believes their future lies in the top half of the top division – and may prove astute businessmen if their sense that a club from the Second City has untapped potential is justified. Perhaps, too, they will crack the American television market. Built in Birmingham feels modelled on Welcome to Wrexham (what next? Come to Colchester? Constructed in Chesterfield? Created in Crewe?). But it offers too little even to Birmingham fans (besides those in it, who provide the self-deprecating humour). They are trying to mine a formula, but it is a dumbing down of the League One season, with the other 22 clubs obscured and two highlighted. They are at pains to draw distinctions between Birmingham and Wrexham, but not Wigan or Wycombe. Only two league games attract more than a cursory mention: long segments on the two meetings with Wrexham. 'Wrexham, we're coming for your ass,' says Brady, in an outbreak of frat-boy nonsense. The Birmingham fans are at least sharper. 'You can stick your f***ing Deadpool up your arse,' they chant. Their special guest, David Beckham, has to explain a chorus about sheepshaggers to Brady. His visit is instructive. Wagner wants to give Beckham a Birmingham swag bag, presumably thinking the very rich need more free stuff. Brady is uneasy talking to English people, apart from Beckham, and much more relaxed around Americans. His reference points are all American, sending manager Chris Davies a video about transformational leadership from a college football coach. He perks up when talking about his NFL career; when there is more footage of Brady's touchdown passes than Birmingham's passing, it feels clear who the designed audience is. Perhaps they want non-stop Brady but the wit and the best one-liners come from the Birmingham fans, whereas the serial Super Bowl winner's management-speak musings on leadership may work on the US corporate circuit but, no matter how often Wagner says they are invaluable, feel bland. They certainly don't spare Birmingham the drop in 2024. Brady's one footballing opinion of note concerns Wayne Rooney. 'I am a little worried about our head coach's work ethic,' he said. 'I don't have great instincts on that.' But there isn't a proper examination of Wagner's decision to fire Eustace and appoint the former England captain. The verdict from one of the fans was blunt: 'What qualifies Wayne to manage Birmingham City? Absolutely nothing.' If only he had been on the interview panel; Wagner and co fared better, in fairness, in plumping for the lower-profile Davies last summer. Rooney comes and goes in 15 minutes of the first episode. Others feature still less. Three of the five men to manage Birmingham in 2023-24 go unmentioned; Tony Mowbray was diagnosed with bowel cancer, his enforced absence a reason for their relegation, and yet, somehow, the producers made an episode without a reference to him. Brady blames the players, whom he calls lazy and entitled, for the club's demotion. There is a clearout and thereafter Birmingham succeed, in their own minds, by implementing a new culture. 'Getting promoted is an amazing accomplishment,' said Wagner. 'I love that everyone doubted we would do it.' Really? Birmingham were the bookmakers' favourites after a £30m outlay. Spending a record amount of money for a third-tier club may have played its part. They get 111 points and, to Brady's delight, finish above Wrexham. Which, it would seem, is their hope for the ratings. This is a battle of the documentaries, a fight for new American followers. And yet it is also an indication of one of the many things that are wrong with the game when historic clubs are defined by producing airbrushed content for streaming in the United States in attempts to expand their fanbase. Because there are plenty of good reasons to support Birmingham, but this show isn't one of them.

Inside Princess Charlotte's impressive £92,000 jewellery collection: From royal heirlooms to sentimental pieces
Princess Charlotte is beginning to make her mark not only through royal engagements but also in her thoughtful approach to fashion - especially her jewellery. Like her mother, the Princess of Wales, Charlotte has started incorporating pieces with deep personal and historical significance into her wardrobe. At Trooping the Colour, she paid a touching tribute to her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, by wearing a diamond horseshoe brooch. The cherished gift, from the Queen herself, was a poignant nod to both her royal lineage and her personal connection to the late monarch. Similarly, the Kate honoured Queen Elizabeth by wearing the Bahrain pearl drop earrings, a classic and timeless pair from Her Majesty's collection. Yet Charlotte's style remains age-appropriate and relatable. She balances these heirlooms with more accessible, youthful choices. A perfect example was her recent appearance at Wimbledon, where she wore a charming Pandora bracelet adorned with handpicked charms believed to carry personal meaning - offering a sweet glimpse into her personality. Maxwell Stone, director at Steven Stone jewellers, tells the Daily Mail that Princess Charlotte is already 'mastering the art of mixing high street favourites with royal heirlooms'. He explains: 'Just like Kate, Charlotte effortlessly blends meaningful family treasures with personalised pieces, such as her playful charm jewellery. This thoughtful balance not only reflects her emerging fashion sense but also highlights her deepening connection to royal tradition.' Below, we delve into Princess Charlotte's growing jewellery collection. Pandora bracelet and charms: £223 At the Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Final, Princess Charlotte appeared in the Royal Box wearing a £65 silver Pandora Snake Chain Slider Bracelet. Her bracelet featured three meaningful charms: an emerald crystal, a silver heart disc engraved with a personal message, and a rose gold-plated Nala charm from Pandora's popular Disney The Lion King collection. Maxwell says: 'The emerald represents Charlotte's birth month of May, while the engraved heart - though its message wasn't visible - is likely to carry sentimental meaning. 'The most endearing touch is the Nala charm, which is believed to be a playful tribute to her brother Prince George's favourite film, adding a sweet sibling connection to her look.' Diamond horseshoe brooch - estimated value: £10,000 At this year's Trooping the Colour, Charlotte added a heartfelt touch to her outfit with a diamond horseshoe brooch - a subtle yet deeply meaningful accessory. The young royal first wore the brooch at Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral in September 2022, paying tribute to her late great-grandmother's passion for horses. Originally belonging to Queen Mary in the 1920s, it was later passed to the Queen Mother and eventually gifted to Charlotte by Queen Elizabeth II, continuing a legacy of remembrance and royal tradition. Maxwell explains: 'The brooch is more than just beautiful - it's a treasured family heirloom steeped in history and sentiment. 'I'd estimate its value at around £10,000, though its emotional worth within the family is far greater.' Accessorize necklace: £22 Attending the 2024 Christmas Day church service at Sandringham, Charlotte looked radiant in a festive tartan coat that perfectly complemented her mother's scarf. What caught the attention of onlookers, however, was her delicate gemstone necklace. The £22 healing necklace from Accessorize featured amethyst, rose quartz and onyx, sparking speculation that it may have been a Christmas gift. Charlotte's affordable jewellery choice suggests that she is already taking after her fashion-forward mother, who is known to be a fan of Accessorize herself, having worn at least eight pairs of earrings from the brand. Embellished headpiece - estimated value: £80,000 At the coronation of King Charles III in May 2023, Charlotte and Kate wore matching headpieces designed by Jess Collett in collaboration with Alexander McQueen. While many expected the duo to wear historic tiaras from the Windsor collection, their choice to debut custom-made pieces was an unexpected twist. Maxwell notes: 'Although the silver crown gives the illusion of being encrusted with diamonds, it's actually crafted from silver bullion and crystals, adorned with three-dimensional leaf embroidery. 'The result was a regal yet contemporary statement piece - elegant and eye-catching without the extravagance of traditional royal jewels.' Pearl bracelet - estimated value: £2,000 Charlotte also wore a bracelet featuring delicate seed pearls and a gold clasp during the coronation. The elegant piece beautifully complemented her dress, which was embroidered with floral motifs representing the four nations of the United Kingdom. 'Pearls have long held a prominent place in the royal family's jewellery collection and are closely associated with the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was rarely seen without her iconic pearl necklace,' Maxwell explains. Charlotte was also seen wearing an elegant bracelet adorned with fine seed pearls and secured with a gold clasp at the coronation Arabic bracelet - estimated value: £100 During her 2024 visit to Wimbledon, Charlotte was spotted wearing a dainty gold bracelet inscribed with what appeared to be her name in Arabic. The piece also included a small turquoise nazar amulet, a symbol traditionally believed to protect against the Evil Eye. 'The bracelet underscored Charlotte's growing affinity for personalised jewellery - a style choice increasingly popular among royal women,' Maxwell says. This personal piece echoed a jewellery trend embraced by other royals too - Kate, Meghan and Sophie often wear accessories that pay tribute to their children.
