Danielle was showing off the fabled expectant mother glow from her make-up free visage as she stepped out with her hair fresh from the shower.

She wore a white chiffon top that skimmed her bump while pairing the look with skin-tight indigo jeans and white espadrilles. 

Michael meanwhile went for a lookalike ensemble as he sported a white T-shirt with light wash jeans and box fresh white trainers. 

Shortly before their outing, Danielle made her big revelation regarding the gender after previously stating that she could not cope with another boy.

Danielle has spoken at length about her desire to have a daughter, after having three sons with her ex husband Jamie O'Hara, but she admits that will never happen naturally as she doesn't want to risk falling pregnant again with another son.

She said: It's always been my dream to have a girl but I'd be fine with the four boys. Michael wants another baby, but I wouldn't risk another boy. He's looked at gender selection, so we could do that.

'I was shocked when I first learned I was having a son Michael was scared I was going to be disappointed but I've come to terms with the fact I'm having a boy.'

Danielle had previously said a psychic had told her she would have a little girl and had previously said: 'I'd better get my girl. I can't cope with another boy.'

She also shared pictures of her little boys hugging her tummy on Instagram, convinced they were getting a daughter.

Danielle and Michael became pregnant after six months after meeting in the gym last year and are planning a 2018 wedding.

But she was forced to dismiss accusations of staging a baby scan on live television after allegedly discovering the sex of her unborn child a week ago.

She discovered she is expecting a boy during Friday's edition of daily panel show Loose Women.

But hours later Danielle found herself embroiled in a very public war of words with CBB star Nicola McLean on social media after TV personality Maria Fowler suggested she was actually informed of the baby's gender before the show aired. 

Speaking to MailOnline, the mother of three claimed both are guilty of waging a sustained personal campaign against herself and her fiance, Michael.

'These women have had some sort of vendetta against me for a long time and it's horrible they are trying to spoil this special moment for me and Michael,' she said. 

Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Danielle also insisted the attack reflects negatively on her critics, calling their perceived jealousy 'unhealthy'.

'Unhealthy': Speaking on the micro-blogging site: 'It's very sad when girls are so obsessed with trying to bring me down it shows immaturity and jealously.. the obsession with me is unhealthy'

Addressing followers on the micro-blogging site, she wrote: 'It's very sad when girls are so obsessed with trying to bring me down it shows immaturity and jealously.. the obsession with me is unhealthy'.

Her comments came after former The Only way Is Essex star Maria, 30, retweeted a snap originally shared by  private pregnancy clinic Miracle In Progress on Friday, in which Danielle is pictured alongside a group of midwives.

Toasting the brunette and her fiance, an accompanying caption suggested the sex of her child had already been established.

'Congratulations to @MsDLloyd and Mark on the announcement of you both expecting a baby boy. Was a pleasure to scan him last week,' the clinic wrote, incorrectly naming Michael. 

An unimpressed Maria, who gave birth to her baby daughter Evie Paris in September, commented: 'Ah so it's true you did the gender scan for her before the loose women one... I didn't think she looked surprised.'

Responding to the claims, the former model later found herself embroiled in a Twitter row with Celebrity Big Brother star Nicola McLean, 35, who kick started the argument by asking: 'what??? So the sex wasn't found out live on loose women?'

Hitting back with a jibe about the glamour model's Celebrity Big Brother fee, Danielle wrote: 'Yeah i found out live nicola are u piping up again for 5 mins do not talk about mine and my partners son did u get payed 4 big bro this time.' (sic)

Unperturbed, mother of two Nicola replied: 'you didn't find out live on air babe please stop with the lies.'

Lashing out, Danielle finally settled the spat by referencing Nicola's football player husband Tom Williams' alleged infidelity, writing: 'When did u find out your husband cheated on u was live on vegas news! please don't worry about my life go & do another reality show for free.'(sic)

The brunette's spokesperson has since told told MailOnline that any comments suggesting she didn't find the sex out live, were 'speculating out of spite'.

Her representative said: 'It is fact that Danielle found out the gender of her baby live on Loose Women yesterday. The scan she had last weekend at a private clinic was a standard 16 week appointment, where her baby was confirmed as healthy and well - not as a boy or a girl.

'Those on Twitter making suggestions otherwise are merely speculating out of spite, which is very disappointing behaviour from grown women.'

However a separate source told told MailOnline that Danielle knew about the gender before appearing on live TV, unbeknownst to ITV and Loose Women.

The insider said: 'Danielle had a scan done last Saturday at Miracle in Progress in Derby. It was then that she found out the sex. She came out delighted with her partner Michael knowing that they were going to have a boy.

'Loose Women didn't know about her visit to the clinic. It's understandable she had pre-scan before she went on just to make sure everything was OK but everyone knew from the weekend that she was having boy.'

MailOnline have contacted Nicola McLean and Maria Fowler's reps for comment. 

On Friday afternoon the suspense was rife, with the Loose Women presenters gathering around Danielle, who had her fingers crossed for a girl, prepared to hear the news.

Danielle was handed a blue balloon by Nadia Sawalha - who looked apprehensive to tell her the news.

The star was shocked, but recovered well, saying, 'I'm excited! At least I know and I can prepare myself for another messy boy in the house!'

She also got a thumbs up from fiance Michael from the studio audience - but confessed her three young sons won't be happy when she delivers the news.

'I'm going to have to go again. I don't think I can tell [my sons]!', she wailed. 'At least I know what to expect. I don't think I could have taken a girl to football every week.'

Speaking ahead of finding of the sex of the baby, Danielle had also candidly confessed she was hoping for a little girl.

She revealed: 'Michael doesn't really mind, it's his first baby so he's just really excited. As long as the child is happy and healthy. But... if this one's a boy, I would have to keep trying for a girl!'
