She confirmed she plans to have an illegal gender selection to guarantee a daughter in a new interview.

And Danielle Lloyd looked ever the devoted mum as she enjoyed a sunny play date with youngest son Ronnie, nine months, at a park in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, on Monday.

The former WAG, 34, opted for comfort as she rocked a simple black vest top, and flaunted her slender pins in a pair of skimpy denim cut-off shorts.

Danielle slipped off her shoes as she laid out on a blue towel to enjoy the sunshine with her cherubic tot.

The reality star kept her glossy brunette locks sleek and straight and slicked back her tendrils with a pair of mirrored aviator shades.

Danielle accessorised with a pair of classic diamond earrings and flashed her large engagement sparkler from fiance Michael O'Neill.

Youngest son Ronnie looked adorable in a tiny Liverpool FC strip and giggled as he larked around with mum before settling down with a picture book.

The fun outing comes after Danielle - who is a mother of four sons - revealed she is still keen to expand her brood and has considered taking drastic steps to introduce a baby girl into her family during a candid new interview with OK! Magazine.

Danielle also explained how polycystic ovaries and endometriosis cause her stomach to swell when she's ovulating, leaving her to believe she was pregnant after a recent flare-up while on holiday in Miami, Florida.

The reality star dished to the publication that she will persevere with her plan to undergo gender selection in the hopes of giving birth to a daughter after conceiving her four sons.

The TV personality and beau Michael share nine-month-old Ronnie, and Danielle has three sons with ex-husband footballer Jamie O’Hara: Archie, seven, Harry, six, and George, four.

When asked about her pregnancy plans, the former Miss GB explained: ‘If it happens, it happens, but we want to do gender selection. I’ve been honest about the fact that I’d really like a little girl.'

Gender selection is currently illegal in the UK, but still legal in the United States and Cyprus, where a woman can choose if she gives birth to a boy or girl through IVF.

The controversial procedure, also called Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis, reportedly costs around £5,000 for the private IVF treatment, as well as £8,000 per PGD cycle, according to The Baby Centre.

On the criticism she felt after discussing her plans to The Sun's Fabulous Magazine in December, Danielle said she wasn't worried about what people thought, and didn't want to regret not having a little girl.

The reality star continued: ‘I would regret it if I got to 50 and didn’t have a daughter, and I don’t want to have any regrets, so I’m going to do it.’

Danielle also revealed that she did think she could be pregnant recently, and was pictured with a pregnancy test.

‘We did think I was pregnant, but I have polycystic ovaries and then endometriosis when I’m ovulating, which makes me swell up so I look and feel like I’m pregnant,' she explained.
