Geordie Shore’s Gaz Beadle and girlfriend Emma McVey reveal they’re expecting a baby boy
GAZ Beadle and Emma McVey have revealed they're expecting a baby boy.
The Geordie Shore star, 29, and his model girlfriend are delighted with the news, with Gaz particularly relieved he won't have to deal with make-up and dresses.
Speaking to , he said: "We’re having a boy. For me, obviously I wanted a boy, so I’m buzzing."
Emma added: "We both guessed right. I didn’t mind either way. Gaz really wanted a boy, though."
Gaz continued: "I think he’ll be hyper! He’ll have lots of energy. I’ve got mates who have little girls, but once they start wanting to wear make-up and putting little dresses on, I wouldn’t have a clue what I was doing. With a boy at least he’ll get to that age where he’ll want to do sports and I can dress him properly."
Emma only discovered she was pregnant after fainting during a shopping trip in Asda.
"I was feeling ill and I’d been fainting quite a lot, but apparently that’s normal," she explained. "Then I ended up fainting in Asda. I was on my own and remember feeling dizzy. Then I woke up on the floor with my head on a woman’s Mulberry bag. I thought it was to do with having low iron because I’ve had that before, but then I realised I was actually pregnant."
The pregnancy could spell the end for Gaz's time on Geordie Shore, with the star admitting it wouldn't be right for him to continue boozing heavily while Emma's at home pregnant.
Discussing the idea of leaving, he said: "I need to think about that as you can’t be on Geordie Shore and have a kid. It would just be so wrong. This would be the perfect out. It’s like, I would love to be here, however I’m going to be a dad so I’ve got to leave. I can’t be out getting p****d every night in Newcastle, and Emma’s at home pregnant. I’ve got a big decision to make, but if it’s my time, it’s my time."
The pair claim they'd get married sooner if Emma hadn't fallen pregnant and are now waiting until their boy can walk before they head down the aisle.
Gaz is clearly relishing his status as dad-to-be and revealed he had been spending Sunday testing pushchairs to prepare for his first baby with Emma.
The reality TV favourite, who reunited with the mum of his first child earlier this year, is adamant the tot will have the best start in life.
Hunting down top notch accessories the hunk shared a snap showing a black device and plastic doll strapped to his body with the words: "Baby carrier shopping" before quickly following up with another snap showing his prowess at folding down a pram.
Making a quip about how he tackled the notoriously tricky task with ease, he wrote: "Prams ... not a problem," followed by smile, laughing face and baby Emojis.
The Geordie Shore star's beautiful other half is over four months pregnant with their first child, so it makes sense the MTV star is getting together essentials.
The couple announced the happy news that they were expecting their first child together last month.
Alongside the picture of the couple cuddling up with a pair of baby booties, Gaz wrote: "SO SO SO excited to eventually be able to tell you all this... I AM GOING TO BE A DAD...
"WE ARE HAVING A BABY.."
"I love kids and literally can't wait for this new adventure... argghhhh literally no words SOOOO HAPPY!!!"
Emma was equally thrilled, reposting the picture with her own message. "So excited to share our news and begin our new adventure, we can't wait to meet you little one ⛄️👶🏼🤰🏻 we are having a baby!!!"

This week, we reported how Gaz's lover was targeted by mean online trolls who claimed she is "too skinny" to be expecting.
But after posting a picture of them together on Instagram ahead of her birthday celebrations, Emma received a number of unwanted comments online about her body.
One wrote: "I don't but she doesn't look healthy!!gorgeous looking but she's too skinny", while another added: "Your neck looks so skinny!please start eating"
Thankfully for Emma, she had lots of supporters defending her from the comments.
One wrote: "Her hair is covering most of her neck and it's the angle of the pic!"
