Molly-Mae Hague has given birth to her second child with her fiancé Tommy Fury - and fans think they’ve worked out the smart reason why she used a black and white filter on her announcement photo.
The former Love Island star, 27, and professional boxer, 27, who already share a three-year-old daughter, Bambi, announced their happy news in an Instagram post on Wednesday (3 June).
They shared a photo of the three of them gushing over the newborn baby in Molly’s hospital bed, while the tot was wrapped up in a patterned blanket.
She sweetly wrote in the caption: “…. and then there were 4,” but opted not to disclose the baby’s name or gender yet, despite the swirling online guesses and theories.

It seems that Molly and Tommy's use of a black and white photo on the picture could have actually been a very clever way of disclosing the information.
Not including any colour in the family photo means that there are no obvious clues to what the little one’s gender could be, including the colour of the blanket.
While, of course, we know that pink doesn’t always mean it’s a girl, and equally, blue isn’t just for boys, but it is a pretty common way of distinguishing.
One Redditor guessed: “I’m assuming she did it to hide any colors to give away what gender the baby is.”
And someone else over on Instagram penned: “Boy? Girl? Weight? Name? Come onnnnnn ?!?!?”
Fans have been desperately trying to guess the baby's name as Molly has been dropping hints in her YouTube vlogs throughout her pregnancy.
She revealed in a video back in March that she and Tommy have decided on a name, and admitted she thinks fans will ‘hate’ it.
Molly said at the time: “I think we’re pretty much set on a name now, which is crazy.
“Also, just can’t wait for everyone to hate it, obviously it’s a different name - we were never gonna call our baby just an ordinary name, that was never going to happen.”
The Cheshire-based influencer teased that she’s 'actually only ever heard of one other baby being called this name’.
She said: "Whenever I see cool baby name lists on TikTok, I have never, ever, ever seen this name in any of these lists, which is just really quite original of us.”
Just days ago, on Tuesday (2 June), Molly posted her last YouTube vlog before giving birth, where she invited fans to drop their final guesses, with the help of a few last hints.
The reality TV star said, “I think people are going to be a bit disappointed. Upon reflection, I don’t actually think it’s that crazy, but I know people are going to pronounce it wrong.
"Because when I’ve mentioned the name to a few people, or I’ve spelled it out, a few of my friends have said it completely wrong - absolutely not how you pronounce it.”
“Also, I think, if you know this word, or you know the name, you would just pronounce it as it is. For me, I see it exactly as it is."
She said it’s ‘definitely not as different as Bambi’ as she confirmed it ‘sounds so good with the surname Fury’.
“That’s another reason why I love it so much. It feels right, it feels good,” Molly concluded.
