'We're having a girl - just like a psychic predicted!'
| Published date | 18 July 2021 |
Danielle had been open about wanting a sister for her boys Archie, 10, Harry, nine, and George, seven, who she shares with her ex, Jamie O'Hara, and Ronnie, three, who she has with husband Michael O'Neill. She was so determined that she and Michael were set to fly to Dubai this summer for gender selection -
'They're go- a procedure that is illegal in the UK - to ensure her dream came true. But then she found out that she was expecting.

And Danielle, now 19 weeks, believes she conceived a girl naturally - because a fortune teller told her she would - and that she "manifested"the daughter who she says will complete her family.

Our parents. We rang my mum and I'd been crying, and I think she thought,"Oh no, she's going to say it's a boy."But she'd already given me a pep talk and said, "Whatever it is, it's going to be fine. Just don't get your hopes up." I think everyone thought I was just destined to have boys forever.
How would you have reacted if it was another boy?
