But her followers soon noticed the couple could be having a girl.

One commented: “wait did casey mime ‘we’re having a girl’,” while another said: “It’s deffo a girl! Could see him saying it . Congratulations.”

Someone else pointed out: “The song in this post is ‘ to our daughter ‘,” while a fourth agreed: “the song choice also a give away as a Lullaby to my Daughter.”

Sharing a video clip, Marnie wrote: “Here we go again.”

She and her reality TV star husband Casey are already parents to Rox, born October 2019 and Oax, who she welcomed in 2022.

The star had a very difficult first birth and while pregnant with her second child she insisted she would not have any more.

She said at the time: “I would not go to three,” she said. “I think you’ve got to find the balance for yourselves.

“We want to enjoy our lives as well. We’ve not waited too long to have kids and I feel like having two, we can give them the best life possible.”

Marnie previously described her first labour, which lasted 28 hours, as traumatic and insisted on having a c-section the second time round.

Marnie was diagnosed with a chronic UTI in 2016 and after giving birth to baby Rox in 2019, her symptoms began to get a lot worse.

Marnie got engaged to X Factor singer Casey back in 2020, and they wed in May 2023.

The pair met on the show Single AF in 2017.

They confirmed their relationship just a few months after the show ended – a move that is against show rules but it didn’t seem to worry the smitten love-birds.

Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole undercard: Who else is fighting on ‘best card in boxing history’?

BOXING history is littered in so-called ‘best card of all time’ shouts over the years.

However, the card lined up for Saturday night in Riyadh will certainly rival anything that has ever been put together in boxing – despite two late changes.

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol’s rematch will headline the card.

There was previously a co-main event between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker for the heavyweight title – but Dubois has been forced to withdraw because of illness.

Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole is now one of the chief supporting acts after the feared heavyweight stepped in at short notice.

Beterbiev and Bivol bout is sparked from the pair’s initial fight in the Middle East last October, where the former won a narrow decision for the undisputed light-heavyweight titles.

Resurgent former world champion Parker on a five-match win streak will look to disrupt any supposed formalities.

Martin Bakole took the fight on very short notice, only jetting into Riyadh for the fight against Parker on Friday morning.

Fellow British fighters Joshua Buatsi and Callum Smith will open up the night, as their meet-up presents crunch time for both.

Buatsi is looking to deliver on the promise hailed on him since holding the British title in 2019.

Smith has the opportunity to show he still deserves a place at the top of the sport after a couple of failed title shots.

Meanwhile, pound-for-pound star Shakur Stevenson will now defend his WBC lightweight title against unbeaten Brit Josh Padley after Floyd Schofield was also forced to withdraw.

  • Joseph Parker vs Martin Bakole is set to take place on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol II, on Saturday, February 22.
  • The card gets underway from 4pm GMT, with Parker and Bakole to fight before the main event at around 9pm GMT.
