A mum of four daughters used the same controversial 'babydust method' as Danielle Lloyd in a bid to have a son - and it worked.
The 38-year-old model recently spoke about using the divisive sex-selection method to conceive a baby girl, Autumn Rose, as OK reports.
Amy Walker, 36, decided to copy Danielle's method - and after having four girls she was willing to give anything a go in an attempt to get the son that she and her husband, 37-year-old John, wanted.

The couple were amazed when a gender scan revealed the technique had worked and they soon welcomed their son, Teddy, into the family.
Amy, from Folkestone, Kent, said: "John loves his girls but he longed for a little boy to take to football and do other father and son things with. So, we decided we’d try one last time to have a boy, fearing that we’d regret it further down the line if we didn't.
"Because I wanted to increase my chances of conceiving a son, I searched the internet for help. There was lots of information but I felt sceptical about it, thinking there was no way it could work.
"But a Facebook friend had been successful using the Babydust Method, so I bought the book and it seemed to make a lot of sense.
"The method involved tracking when I ovulated and having sex at a particular time of the month. We had nothing to lose by trying. If it didn't work, we'd still love the baby, whether it was a boy or a girl."
The Babydust Method suggests the best time to try to conceive if you want a girl, or a boy, by charting the luteinising hormone, which triggers ovulation.
Amy continued: "There were no rules to follow about what to eat or drink. And we didn't tell family or friends what we were doing in case they thought we were mad. We’ve always been very open with the girls about sex being part of a loving relationship.
"There are a lot of us, sleeping at different times, so we didn't have any problems where we had to sneak off for sex in comedy moments. The method was easy to follow and I got pregnant quickly.
"John and I nervously went in for the gender scan at 14 weeks and I couldn't believe it when the baby turned out to be a boy. Babydust had worked for us!"
Amy Walker and John, a plumber, have four daughters - Abigail, 16, Isabelle, 14, Olivia, 10, Amelia, four, and now one-year-old son Teddy.
Mum-of-four Danielle Lloyd shares sons Archie, 10, Harry, nine, and George, seven, with her ex-husband, footballer Jamie O’Hara, and Ronnie, three, with current husband Michael O'Neill.
She came across a guide, called The Babydust Method written and researched by Kathryn Taylor - who has a degree in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics from UCLA - and followed it in hopes of having a girl.
Kathryn isn't a doctor and has previously told her social media followers she wants to "help people better understand the method".
Doctors have been sceptical about the method, explaining how the chances of getting a boy or girl are usually 50-50.
