Katie, 21, who also stars in the Channel 5 show alongside her partner Connor, is expecting Sue and Noel's 15th grandchild.

Katie and her long-term boyfriend held a gender reveal party to announce the happy news, with the dad-to-be kicking a football and Katie using a cannon to indicate they are having a son.

"Baby Carter mummy and daddy can’t wait to meet you!" Katie wrote alongside pictures and video of the party on Instagram.

Blue smoke poured out of the football as Connor jumped for joy at the news they were expecting a son.

And Katie, from Morecambe, Lancs, fell to the floor when she saw the blue confetti shooting out of the cannon.

Her sister Millie - a mum of three herself - then shared the post on her Instagram Stories, writing: "Finally another little boy!

"You're going to be the best mummy ever, can't wait to meet my baby nephew!"

Her other sister Sophie added: "So so so happy for Katie and Connor. A beautiful baby boy!" while Aimee wrote: "So happy for you both - another little nephew!"

Other congratulations came from Radford fans, who took to the comments section of Katie's post to offer their love and support.

"You’re going to make amazing parents!" one wrote.

"Seeing how you are with the youngsters, you’re just so natural - both of you!"

"Omg I’m crying at work!" another added.

"I’m so so so happy! Best couple, best mummy to be ever!

"Best parents to be! I love this!"

"Congrats Katie, I had no idea!" a third commented.

"You do not look pregnant in the slightest!"

News of Katie's pregnancy comes after she asked Sue and Noel if Connor could move into the family's Morecame Mansion, in scenes shown on TV earlier this year.

"It’s been a really difficult decision actually…I don’t know, it’s a bit tricky to be honest," Noel said.

"Connor’s obviously been trying to prove that he can play a proper role in the house," Sue added.

"But I’m still not sure. It’s expensive having other people in the house.” 

But shortly after came the moment of truth.

Sue and Noel sat down with Katie and Connor to deliver the verdict. 

Katie begged: “I do really want Connor to move in. I think I’ll be really upset if he can’t.”

To which Noel replied: “Well, I know you really want to live together.”

Sue then confirmed: “We are at capacity, the house is bursting at the seams.”

The mum-of-22 then beamed: “You are pretty good with the vacuum, so all good.” 

Despite their initial concerns, Noel revealed: “Everyone here needs to pull their weight.

"But you’ve been working really hard to prove yourself.

"We like you Connor, you can move in."
