Strictly’s Neil Jones and Love Island girlfriend Chyna Mills reveal baby’s gender with help of fellow pro dancers
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Neil Jones and his pregnant girlfriend, Love Island star Chyna Mills, have been left overjoyed at discovering the sex of their unborn baby.
The couple confirmed the exciting news that they were welcoming a baby earlier this year.
Now the pair have discovered that they will be parents to a baby girl after having a helping hand from Neil’s co-stars.
Neil and Chyna confirmed the news to Hello magazine as they shared a sweet video of the moment they discovered the news on-stage.
During a rehearsal for the Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals tour, the parents-to-be discovered they would be welcoming a daughter as they cut into a specially-made cake.
Surrounded by his dancer pals, including Dianne Buswell, Gorka Marquez, Vito Coppola and Jowita Przystal, Neil said to the publication: “They’d been trying to guess if we were expecting a girl or a boy, and for the HELLO! photoshoot the girls wore pink or blue eyeshadow, depending on what they thought.
“Dianne was like, ‘Your daughter will have so many (Strictly) aunties now!’
“Chyna and I are so happy and I can’t wait to be a dad.”
A pink layer of sponge inside the cake confirmed the exciting news to the loved-up couple.
Chyna, cradling her blossoming bump, added of how her pregnancy has been going: “I had horrendous morning sickness, which my mum – who’s had four girls – tells me is a sign.
“My cravings have been for sweet food, too. Krispy Kreme donuts are my downfall.”
Neil has been left convinced that the little one will turn out “stubborn” like Chyna.
Recalling the moment they attanded a baby scan, Neil said: “During a scan the nurse tried to get the baby to turn.
“When she wouldn’t, the nurse joked, ‘This one’s quite stubborn,’ and I thought, ‘That’s like Chyna.’
“The baby even lies with her arms above her head and with her legs crossed – just like her mum. Her legs are really long, so she could be a model, too.”
Chyna rose to fame from her appearance on last summer’s Love Island.
After failing to find a connection in the Majorcan villa, she caught the eye of the Strictly favourite and the pair have been inseparable ever since.
