There are just a few weeks to go until Emma and Matt Willis welcome their third child together.

And the cute couple, who are already proud parents to daughter Isabelle, six, and their four-year-old son, Ace, have been keeping their unborn baby’s gender firmly under wraps.

However the Busted star seemingly let the cat out of the bag when he spoke to the Mail Online a few weeks ago, hinting that he is having a boy.

He said: "I think if it’s a boy we should call it ‘Dude’ but Emma wasn’t into that."

Getting serious about his baby name choices, however, Matt - much like Emma before him - admitted that he has a fondness for traditional moniker, James.

He added: "I've genuinely thought about ‘James’. I really like the name.”

There’s just one teeny issue - it’s the same name as one of his bandmates!

“I was a hundred per cent set on that and Emma actually really loved that name too, but I think James Bourne would get too much of a big head."

Boy or girl, it seems as if Matt and Emma will be going very traditional with their baby name choice.

Colm Rock, Novelties Trader for Betfair, told OK! Online: "Matt and Emma Willis are one of the coolest celebrity couples around. Isla has been well-backed at 9/1 with Poppy third favourite at 10/1.

"The clear favourite, however, is James at 4/1 with both making it known in previous interviews that they like the name."

N’aww - we love ALL of those names!

Whatever they choose to call their little one, we know that their baby will be very loved - and not just by his or her proud parents.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Emma said: “The kids are beyond excited.

“I think Isabelle will be like a little mum when the new baby comes. Ace is looking forward to it, but I think he probably doesn’t realise what it will be like until he or she actually arrives.”

She added that her third-born bubba will also have his grandparents at beck and call, saying: “My parents are hopefully going to move in to help.”

Not long to go now, Emma!
