FORMER Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw has revealed she is expecting a baby boy.
The pregnant Bury-born star, partner of entertainer Darren Day, is currently thinking of names for the child.
Suzanne is due to give birth on Christmas Day, and up until now had been sure she would give birth to a girl.
Her partner, 35-year-old Day, said the scan revealing the sex of the child came as a shock to the couple.
He has also joked that the child may even be named after its date of birth.
He told a national newspaper: "As he's due on Christmas Day, we're thinking of calling him Christmas.
"It's an internationally recognised forename, apparently, and Christmas Day has a bit of a ring about it, don't you think?"
The couple recently had a scare after Suzanne was taken into hospital in new Zealand in June with a serious kidney infection.
They feared that the illness, which struck while the 22-year-old was visiting her mother, may have harmed the unborn child, but the baby was not affected.
