Katie Piper drops a major hint about the gender of her baby

Katie Piper is currently expecting her second child with her husband Richard, and the star – who is due to give birth this month – has just dropped a BIG hint about the gender of the baby.

Katie, who is already mum to a three-year-old daughter called Belle, attended her baby shower over the weekend which had been planned and put together by her mum.

Two weeks before the lovely family occasion, Katie took to her Instagram account to announce that she would be revealing the gender of her baby using a 'gender reveal dress' from her maternity collection with WantThatTrend.com.

Using a photo of the dress in two colours, pink and blue, Katie wrote: 'Gender Reveal Dress - forget gender reveal Cakes or confetti filled balloons let your style do the talking with my Bardot Twist Maternity dress from @wantthattrend. Which one do you think I'm going to be wearing to my baby shower in 2 weeks?'

So, naturally, when Katie uploaded her first photo from her baby shower – a sweet snap with her daughter Belle – her fans and followers immediately took to Instagram to comment on the colour of her dress.

Looking radiant in a 3/4 sleeve wrap belted dress from her collection, Katie looked lovely in the chic pink design.

Thanks to her choice of dress on the day, fans are now convinced that the star is preparing to welcome a second baby girl into her family this month – even though the star is yet to official confirm the news!

the pink dress mean you're having another little girl?!?' wrote one excited fan, with another commenting: 'Does that mean it's a girl as you wore a pink dress? As a while ago you said you wondered if you were going to wear pink or blue to your shower?'

'Does the pink dress mean girl? Remember what you posted a few weeks ago,' another person remarked, while others flooded Katie's comments with congratulations: 'Congratulations on another little girl!'

The expectant star thanked her team for helping her to feel 'glam' for the special occasion, but is yet to say whether her choice of pink for the day is official confirmation that Belle is about to be a big sister to a new little sister!
