Georgia also took a sweet snap with the doctors and nurses. The emotional video ended with Georgia and her partner Tommy - holding their child - screaming with joy during their gender reveal party. Georgia jumped and up down after pink confetti popped out from the balloon.
Fans were delighted with the news and rushed to the comment section to congratulate the star. One user said: "This is the best!!!! Goosebumps when I saw the balloon pop pink too! Perfect. Congratulations," while another commented: "Oh georg I’m sobbing! So happy for you! You deserve this and more. Love you always."

The star ended the clip with happy footage from the gender reveal party (Instagram)"Could not be happier for you both! Congratulations guys beautiful news after a tough journey, sending love," said one proud fan and another posted: "Congratulations babe how amazing so so so happy for you both." Earlier this year, Georgia opened up about losing her second child 12 weeks into her pregnancy last April.
She discovered it had triploidy, a rare condition where a baby’s cells have 69 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. It can happen when two sperm fertilise one egg and the life-threatening condition means babies could be stillborn, have severe congenital problems or would only survive a few hours. When doctors told her about the condition at 12 weeks, Towie star Georgia, 32, was advised, on medical grounds, to have a termination.
Georgia said to The Mirror about losing her baby: "Mentally it’s been hard because there are triggers constantly, especially in my age group. Everyone’s having babies and that’s lovely. It’s trying to navigate grieving. Being happy for other people but then being sad yourself at the same time."
