She later shared an adorable snap of her with her beautiful baby boy, who joins Coleen and Wayne's three sons Kai, Klay and Kit.

Coleen, who celebrated the impending birth of her fourth child with a baby shower in her local gym, first revealed news of her pregnancy back in August after much speculation that she was expecting her fourth child.

Confirming the happy news on Twitter, Coleen told fans that she hadn't denied earlier rumours of her pregnancy because she was 'protecting' the information.

[/twitter]The new baby comes after Coleen and Wayne's marriage looked uncertain towards the end of last year following allegations that Wayne had been unfaithful and his arrest and subsequent conviction for drink driving.

In November, the then-pregnant star issued an official statement after months of silence, revealing she had decided to work through any marital problems with her footballer husband.

'It's my decision .... do I love Wayne ... yes I do. If I didn't then I wouldn't be trying to make it work,' Coleen said in a statement on her Facebook page.

'I know I would be fine on my own, with just me and my children, but I don't want to live like that, I want to try and continue our marriage and live as a family, because that's what I want to do.

'I'm not saying everything is fine and forgotten about, but we are as good as can be at this point, I'm not the type of person to put a show on and say we're all loved-up... I'm just real.'
