Maria shared an adorable photo of excited Evie smiling and clasping her hands together on Instagram today, as pink balloons framed the pic.
They spelled out the words: “It’s a girl”
Her followers were delighted with her news and congratulated the family, with one writing: “Another little princess”
And when another fan said: “Congratulations, a baby sister for Evie 💕 you do know this is the perfect excuse to go again for a boy now”
Maria replied with a laughing face emoji, adding: “I’m happy with two!”

Last month the star also shared a video of the family going to the hospital for her 12-week scan – but revealed her apprehension of entering alone.
With the coronavirus pandemic, visitors are restricted to the hospital and in her Instagram Story, she said: “I’m on my way to my 12-week scan. I feel really nervous about this.
“I’m feeling apprehensive about this, because obviously Kelvin can’t come with me. We have had an early scan – we had the heartbeat and stuff. It’s just a bit of a weird one really.
“It’s just not the way you want it to be, but it is what it is. We’ve all got to do this together.”

Maria secretly married her motorcross racer husband Kelvin last year in a Cheshire ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest.
Sharing a picture from their big day, which they requested people don’t share, she wrote: “So this happened yesterday… we got married!
“The happiest day of our lives. What an absolutely incredible day surrounded by Incredible people. We had an intimate ceremony which was full of tears, laughs and sentiment.”
The mum-of-one later flashed her ring as she left the venue the following day with her new husband.

The couple, who got engaged in 2017, married at Nunsmere Hall Hotel and later enjoyed a minimoon in Bowness Bay Marina, Windermere.
Earlier last year, Maria was embroiled in a row with Kady McDermott after the Love Island star called her daughter Evie “vile”.
The backlash was huge, with clothing brands dropping Kady after condoning the comment.
Maria had to call off fans who were incessantly trolling Kady on social media.
