Chris Bisson is overjoyed his girlfriend is expecting a baby girl.
Chris Bisson and Rowena Finn
The 40-year-old actor and partner Rowena Finn - who already have two-year-old son Harry together - discovered the sex of their unborn baby last month, on the 'Emmerdale' star's birthday, and couldn't be happier.
Chris said: "It was the best birthday present ever. For the first time, I saw our baby's face and she was sleeping with her little hand behind her head, just like Harry and I do.
"Because Harry was with us and he's a bit of a chatterbox - he would have announced it to everyone - we asked the doctor to tell us in terms of colour. When she said, 'You've got a little pink one', we were ecstatic.
"I'd hoped, deep down, that our second child would be a girl and my wish came true."
The news came as a surprise to Rowena, 32, as she was convinced she was carrying another boy.
She told HELLO! magazine: "We're used to having a little boy around and know exactly what to expect from a boy so it was fixed in my mind that Harry would have a younger brother.
"Yet my pregnancy was very different this time - I felt more poorly, lost my appetite and became tired quickly. Everyone told me this meant I was expecting a girl but I didn't believe it until the doctor confirmed it."
