But the couple have spilled the beans on some of their favourite baby names - despite agreeing on a boy's name, the pair have struggled to pick a girl's name that they both like.

"We like really traditional names, I like old lady names," Olivia told OK! Magazine.

"We're just really struggling to agree on a girl. I like Audrey and Aubrey, but you didn't like those, did you?"

Alex admitted he wasn't keen on Olivia's choices and shared some of his top picks.

Alex revealed: "No. And I liked Kai for a boy, but you didn't like that!

"To be fair, our boy's name has been locked in for a long time now."

Olivia opened up about the special meaning behind the boy's name she's picked, with a close link to her family.

The mum-to-be added: "Yeah, it's got a meaning behind it. My mum was going to call my brother my name when she had him, so when she told me, I loved it."

It comes after Olivia showed off some painful-looking bruises on her arm as she reveals her blood tests are ongoing "throughout" her pregnancy.

Olivia has been candid in documenting her first pregnancy on her Instagram, and today uploaded a shot showing the inner side of her elbow covered in a huge bruise.

In the caption, the influencer wrote: "Was an aggressive blood test by the looks of things," followed by a laughing face Emoji.

She continued: "I used to hate them so much but I get them so often now I really don't even flinch anymore.

"Always have them for my thyroid and now throughout pregnancy."

Olivia has previously opened up on having an underactive thyroid.

Doctors pinpointed the issue at the age of 10, with her mum and nan having the same medical issue.

She previously told OK!: "It's really weird because I never thought it was a big deal before because I was diagnosed when I was 10.

"My mum noticed a lump in my throat which is where the thyroid gland is.

"If it's over or under active it swells. Luckily it was nothing worse, and the immediate thought when you spot a lump is cancer. "

She added: "There are so many symptoms with an underactive thyroid that can be put down to other things, so it all gets a bit lost in translation.

"But if you are feeling fatigued, if you cant get out of bed or you're feeling depressed and you don't really know why even feeling cold for no reason book an appointment and talk to your doctor. "
