Watch out, Harper Beckham...

Chantelle Houghton has revealed that she's expecting a baby girl.

The star tweeted the news yesterday, along with a warning for the most stylish tot on the block, little Harper Seven.

She wrote: "Me and Alex @Only1AlexReid are so happy to reveal we are expecting a baby girl. We can't wait and couldn't be happier XXXX"

Chantelle announced that she was pregnant back in December, just a few weeks after Alex Reid proposed to the star live on Irish TV.

The pair were just a week away from starting IVF treatment to conceive when Chantelle fell pregnant naturally. Nice work, Alex.

Talking about the sex of her baby for the first time, she told OK!: "We got the doctor to write it down and put it in an envelope so we could open it at home. I wanted to do it all special.

"It was such a shock. I just sat there crying and Alex was completely open-mouthed, It all became so much more real."

Chantelle said: "I can't wait to go clothes shopping for her. I've seen a tiny little leopard-print coat I want to put her in. I'll get a matching one! She will be done up to the nines, working a different look every day."

Oh God, we can't wait.

She added: "Harper has got some serious competition coming along! Our daughter is going to beat her in the fashion stakes."

But it seems Alex has other ideas, saying: "She'll be badass. I'm already planning on taking her to jujitsu. I'm not going to let any boys mess her around."

We wish any potential suitors for this young lady a lot of luck...
