Of course, 2020 was a bit different.Usually, couples would be celebrating their gender reveals with friends and family, but as coronavirusrestrictions prevented this, Radio City teamed up with Joie Baby to create a truly unforgettable experience for one local couple.

Following an on-air competition launched by Leanne & Scott on the Breakfast Show, Nicola and Johnwere chosen to have the UK’s biggest gender reveal just for them.

Mum-to-be Nicola said: "Myself and my husband John have been trying to have a baby for approximately 11 years. We went for all the tests which came back clearbut we still couldn't get pregnant. I am amental health nurse, which is a demanding job,so we thought it could simply be down to stress. We came to the sad conclusion that it was never going to happen, which was devastating. InJuly 2020I startedfeeling unwell. At first, I thought it was Covid, IBS orearly menopause - which would have cemented usnever havingchildren together.Then Johnsuggested I doa pregnancy test.I nearly fainted when it was positive!

"Due to my work I haven't been able to see my family much this year, so any sort of celebration in person was out of the question. That's why I entered the competition for the UK's biggest gender reveal. It was also amazing to be able to have something John could get involved in, since he'snot been able to attend any scans with me, I really didn't want him to feelleft out of the most important event happening in his life. It meant the world to us to see the Radio City tower lit up for our baby!"

The question on everyone’s lips on the night was…will the Radio City tower will be lit pink or blue as the couple who won the competition finally found out if they were expecting a boy or a girl...
