EastEnders star James Bye and pregnant wife Victoria reveal gender of fourth child

EASTENDERS star James Bye and his pregnant wife Victoria have revealed the sex of their fourth child.

The happy couple took to Instagram last night on their family account to share that they are expecting a boy.

James, 39, and Victoria, 40, filmed a sweet video clip with their other three boys - Edward, eight, Louis, six, and Hugo, three - in which they sat on a sofa and turned over a picture frame with 'the Bye Boys' written inside.

They then wrote: "It’s official… The worst kept secret ever is out!

"It’s a BOY! And truly… all 5 of us are over the moon…

"Honestly, we’ve been telling everyone – how we’re supposed to keep his name under wraps (yep we’ve decided!) is beyond me… We’ve just been SO excited."

The proud parents paid a gushing tribute to their brood of boys, telling fans they make their life.

They continued: "I need these crazy guys. They fill my days with laughter, noise (so much noise) & endless cuddles – they also drive me up the wall. But they’re my team. And I know how lucky I am…"

While they admitted to previously wanting to be parents to a girl, they no longer feel hung up on it and said traditional stereotypes are outdated.

They said: "I’ve lost count of how many people ask me if I’m going to ‘try for a girl.’ And I get it… I’ve mentioned before, that a previous version of me would’ve loved a girl... I assumed (before having them) that ‘boys would be boys’. Dirt, snails & puppy dog tails. And yes, cards on the table - there is ALOT of dirt.. & snails & all manner of other ungodly faff… 😂 but there’s also SO much more.

"The old stereotypes just don’t apply anymore - to boys OR girls....

"My boys have long hair, write stories, bake cakes & play music… and yes, they also wrestle, speed eat pizza, collect worms & can armpit fart with the best of them. But like all children, they’re not set in a one size fits all mould. They’re people. Wonderful, infuriating, fascinating, exhausting & very different little people. And I’m just so lucky that I get to be a mama to them… and I’m so excited for this new little individual to join the crew…"

Victoria joked Martin Fowler actor James has his own five-a-side team now, which will give her time to enjoy "girly" telly.

The pair, who married in 2012, had been trying for their fourth child for three years and finally announced they were expecting on New Year's Day.

Last month they renewed their vows on a laughter and tear-filled family trip to St Lucia.
