Katie and her long-term boyfriend Connor made the gender reveal to announce their happy news, with the dad-to-be kicking a soccer ball and his 21-year-old mum using a cannon to show they’re having a son.
“Baby Carter mommy and daddy can’t wait to meet you!” Katie wrote alongside pictures and a video of the moment on Instagram.
Blue smoke billowed from the soccer ball, as Connor jumped for joy at the news that they were expecting a son.
And Katie, who had clad her growing baby bump in a white dress, fell to the floor when she saw the blue confetti shoot from the cannon.

Katie’s sister Millie – a mum-of-three herself – then shared the announcement on her Instagram Stories, writing: “Finally another little boy!
“You’re going to be the best mom ever, I can’t wait to meet my little nephew!”
Her other sister Sophie added: “So so happy for Katie and Connor. Beautiful 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 will be amazing parents!” one wrote.

“The way you are with young people, you are so natural – both of you!”
“Oh, I’m crying at work!” added another.
“I’m so so happy! The best couple, the best mom!
“The best parents ever! I love this!”
“Congratulations Katie, I had no idea!” commented a third.
“You don’t look pregnant at all!”
The 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 their reality show 22 Kids and Counting earlier this year.
“It was a really tough decision… I don’t know, it’s a bit awkward to be honest,” Noel said.
“Connor was clearly trying to prove he could play a real role in the house,” added Sue.
“But I’m still not sure. It’s expensive to have other people in the house.”

But not long after came the moment of truth. Sue and Noel sat Katie and Connor down to give their verdict.
Katie pleaded, “I really want Connor to move in. I think I’ll be really upset if he can’t.”
To which Noel explained, “Well, I know you really want to live together.”
Sue then confirmed: “We have capacity, the house is bursting at the seams.”
The mum-of-22 then beamed: “You’re pretty good with the vacuum so it’s all good.”
But despite their initial concerns, Noel revealed: “Everyone here has to pull their weight.
“But you worked really hard to prove yourself.
“We like you Connor, you can move in.”
