Sophie Ellis-Bextor hits back at claims she wanted a baby girl

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has slammed claims she was hoping for a daughter after welcoming her fifth son this week.

The singer announced the arrival of baby boy Mickey on Monday, sharing a sweet Instagram photo of her musician husband Richard Jones holding their 'absolutely gorgeous' new addition. 

The star was keen to stress that she was in no way disappointed not to have a baby girl, hitting back in a strongly worded tweet hours after the birth.

Referencing a report that claimed Sophie had 'hinted' that she wanted a girl during her appearance on Sunday Brunch the day before the birth, Sophie tweeted:

'I did nothing of the sort. I’ve only ever wanted whatever babies I’ve been lucky enough to have. X'

She is already mum to four boys she shares with husband Richard; Sonny, 14, Kit, nine, Ray, six, and Jesse, two. 


The Murder on the Dancefloor hit-maker was seen appearing on Sunday Brunch Live just 24 hours prior to giving birth. 

She had appeared on the Channel 4 Sunday morning show alongside hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer and fellow guests; Gemma Atkinson, Eamonn Holmes and wife Ruth Langsford, Spencer Matthews and his wife Vogue Williams, and singer Jade Bird. 

Sophie had cut a glamorous figure on the show, revealing that she was unaware of her unborn baby's sex. Quizzed about whether she was having a boy or a girl, Sophie replied: 'This one is... a baby, for sure. I don't know what I'm having. I've never found out.'
