Seann Walsh and his girlfriend Grace Adderley have decided not to find out the sex of their child until they are born.
The comedian, who has just completed a stint on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, has admitted he can ‘only picture’ the couple having a son.
However, he insisted he’ll be happy with a girl or a boy.
‘We’ve decided not to find out if we’re having a girl or a boy until the big day, and I don’t have a preference, but for some reason I can only picture a boy,’ he revealed alongside Grace in a new interview.
The pair’s little bundle is due in February, with funnyman Sean saying he is looking forward to making his first dad joke.
Discussing their plans for the birth, he joked: ‘Grace will be immersed in the miracle of it all, while I’ll be thinking, “This could make a good ten minutes on stage”.’

He added to Hello! magazine: ‘If ever I feel tense or awkward, I do always feel I have to break the tension with something funny. And it will be my first ever dad joke.’
Meanwhile, Seann also shared that it was Grace who persuaded him to sign up for I’m A Celebrity as a ‘once-in-a-lifetime-chance’ because he was ‘so petrified’ initially of another backlash following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
Sean, 36, and professional dance partner Katya Jones, 33, controversially got snapped sharing a kiss despite both being in relationships in 2018 while paired up for the BBC flagship Saturday night show.

He was subsequently dumped by his then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries, and the bad experience led to him having panic attacks bad enough that he has previously had to ‘lie down in the street’.
The TV star has said that the kissing incident ‘destroyed his dreams’.
Speaking on the Take Flight podcast, he shared: ‘A kiss and a statement destroyed my dreams and who I was. What I could have been, what my life could have been, what I could have made myself was gone.’
The comedian previously admitted he has had to ‘do a lot of growing up’ over the past few years.

He told The Times of his slow recovery of his health and career in 2020: ‘I went on Strictly Come Dancing and instead of the love of strangers I got the hate of strangers.
‘And so you come out of that thinking, “I can’t be looking for the love of strangers anymore.” I have to just like myself.’

The comic said he still wanted ‘to make millions of people laugh, but there has to be a separation’ as he learned he had to ‘accept what I did wrong, understand that, but also forgive myself’.
‘There is pre-Strictly me and there is post-Strictly me, they are closely related, but I had to change,’ he added.
