Una Healy has revealed the sex of her unborn baby.

The Saturdays singer confirmed that she and her rugby player boyfriend Ben Foden are expecting a girl.

The 30-year-old star told Hello magazine: "I come from a family of girls, I went to an all girls school and I'm in a girl band, so I guess it's fitting that I'm having a daughter."

Foden also spoke to the magazine about his first reaction to finding out about Healy's pregnancy, saying: "We weren't trying for a baby, but we'd talked about starting a family and we're in a loving and committed relationship, so it wasn't a massive shock.

"I was over the moon. I plan on spending the rest of my life with Una."

Healy added that she is still committed to The Saturdays' first arena tour, which will begin in December.

She said: "I've been quite surprised that people have said, 'How will you do this tour?'. Naturally I'll be careful and I'd never do anything that would put our baby at risk. But I'm pregnant, not ill.

"Loads of women continue to work through their pregnancies and this is my job, so why wouldn't I carry on doing what I love - especially when I feel so well."
