Pregnant Chelsee Healey reveals the gender of her unborn baby in VERY lavish reveal party with Hollyoaks co-star Jennifer Metcalfe

She is preparing to welcome her second child.

And Chelsee Healey decided to gather her loved ones for a lavish gender reveal party at her home in Manchester on Sunday.

The Hollyoaks actress, 35, looked sensational in a white mini dress and was joined by co-star Jennifer Metcalfe as they gathered in her garden to watch a plane fly overhead revealing the big news.

With a pink smoke trail leaving the jet, it was revealed that Chelsee was about to welcome another daughter, after which the actress popped a confetti cannon, also full of pink decorations.

The star – who shares daughter Coco, five, with ex-boyfriend Jack Molloy – revealed her pregnancy news last month but has not revealed who the father is.

Chelsee opted not to name her partner, instead focusing her Instagram post on her daughter’s reaction to the exciting news.

Alongside a stunning shoot, she wrote, “Baby number 2. Not sure the world is ready for another Coco! But WE are more than ready…

‘As long as Coco could talk she has been asking for a baby sitter or brother… Feel beyond blessed to grant her her wish and be a 2 year old mummy and can’t wait to have another baba to unconditionally to love.. (sic)

‘We can’t wait to meet you Our Baby Love’.

Speak against Closer magazine of the news, she said, “I’m so excited to be pregnant again. I feel like the timing is just right. Loved my tummy last time with Coco, I actually missed it…”

“After this one I’ll be really happy, but I said to my partner, ‘Maybe we can squeeze in another one’.”

Chelsee has previously spoken about the joy of motherhood, but revealed in a shocking interview that daughter Coco has been racially abused online.

The actress finds it “heartbreaking” when trolls turn their attention to her little girl Coco, but she refuses to get caught up in a war of words with the bullies.

She told the Daily star: ‘ My daughter is racially insulted through social media.

‘I’ve been getting a lot of messages about Coco. When it comes to an innocent child, it’s no fun. It’s heartbreaking. But I try not to answer back. I’m not having fun with it.’

The star admitted she has been a target for trolls for years, with things getting particularly bad when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2011, when she placed second with partner Pasha Kovalev.

She said, “When I was on Strictly, I got a lot of hate. It’s such a big show – that was the first time a lot of people saw me. I was called ‘hippopotamus’ and things like that.’

Chelsee insisted she has “thick skin” but says she can’t stand people taunting her daughter viciously.

The soap star no longer searches online to find out what people have said about her, because there are ‘always’ some ‘nasty things’.
