Charlotte Crosby revealed gender of baby to nana Jean in the sweetest way

Charlotte Crosby revealed the gender of her baby daughter to her beloved nana in the sweetest way.

In her new BBC Three series Charlotte in Sunderland, the former Geordie Shore favourite surprises Jean with a spontaneous gender reveal, as her elderly grandmother was unable to make the group celebration prior.

Not to feel left out, 32-year-old Charlotte kept the gender under wraps from her gran, visiting her house for a personal gender reveal with a cake.

In the show Charlotte says: "I was really gutted that my nana couldn't make the gender reveal - but it would have been too much for her. Too loud, too cold and just far too much going on. So I've decided to bring the gender reveal to her.

"It was hard to keep it a secret, but she hasn't got a clue."

The show then pictures Charlotte visiting her nana's home with a cake in hand - with the filling of which being either pink or blue depending on the gender of her child. Charlotte says: "What you now have to do nana, is cut the cake open - there's either going to be inside blue or pink and it's gonna tell you what the gender of the baby is.

"This is a big moment nana."

Jean then asks her granddaughter to count down from three, before slicing into the cake to reveal pink frosting - much to her delight.

Charlotte yells: "It's a girl!" before adding: "So it'll be you, mam, me and my little girl - and it's all the four generations of girls."

The reality TV star then reveals what her daughters name will be to her grandmother, letting her in on that she has decided to name her after her beloved nana. She adds: "Do you want to know her name? Alba Jean Ankers.

"So she's got your name," with her nana replying: "Yeah, that's good. So you definitely know you're having a girl?"

With Charlotte laughing: "Yes nana, this is the whole reason for the cake. The hospital told me."

Jean comically replies: "Are you sure you're not having twins?" with the mum-to-be at the time adding: "No. One little girl is in there."

Charlotte gave birth to Alba Jean on October 15, 2022.
