Made in Chelsea stars Maeva D'Ascanio and James Taylor have announced that they're expecting a baby boy.

Maeva, 30, and James, 26, couldn't hide their excitement as they revealed the gender of their baby during Wednesday 24 August evening's episode of the hit E4 reality show.

The pair could be seen cutting into a cake to find blue sponge inside, confirming that their baby is a boy in the intimate scenes.

The couple, who also announced their engagement earlier this year, are due to welcome their first child in the coming months and they recently explained how the pregnancy has made them feel more "connected" to one another.

James opened up to OK! about how "special" it feels to be having a child with his fiancée as he said: "A month in, I turned around to her and was like, 'I feel even more connected to you,' and she feels the same. I don’t think you can do anything more together than create a life."

"It’s part of both of you and is the best thing I can humanly imagine right now that you can do with someone you love. I didn’t realise I could love her more. She’s carrying our child – that’s so special," the dad-to-be gushed.

He did admit that it took him around two weeks to digest the news as the pregnancy "definitely was not planned" and he went into "proper shock".

The star told OK!: "It definitely was not planned. We conceived around Valentine’s Day. When she told me I think I went into two weeks of proper shock.

"Then I started analysing what I felt and it was excitement. It only started feeling real recently. I was downstairs folding baby clothes that she’d been washing, I had one of those moments being like, 'Wow, something’s going to fit in that in a couple of weeks.' It really hit me that I’m going to be a dad," he sweetly added.

He and Maeva announced their happy news in June with the pair sharing snaps from a gorgeous photoshoot which saw James cradling Maeva's blossoming bump.

Alongside welcoming their first child, the MIC stars are also set to tie the knot after James romantically popped the question in Rome and he's opened up about his plans for their big day.

Speaking to OK! he said: "We have a venue. We went to view a place in England," he shared. "It’s going to be December next year."

"Maeva puts a lot of importance on her body and the way she feels. She doesn’t want any baby weight on her and we want the baby at the wedding. It’ll be an English winter wedding, with friends, family and people from the show."

We then asked whether they will let the cameras film their big day, and James said: "I don’t see why not. I know Ollie and Gareth [Locke] did it and it looked beautiful. So I think we’re swinging towards saying yes."

Made in Chelsea: Mallorca, weekdays, 9pm, E4.
