Mike Tindall shared news he is to be a father for the third time this morning as he made the announcement on his podcast.
He opened the show and said, "It's been a good week for me, had a little scan last week - third Tindall on its way."
He continued, "I'd like a boy this time, I’ve got two girls, I would like a boy. I’ll love it whether a boy or a girl – but please be a boy."
Before joking that they are thinking about naming the child to reflect conception during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Mike, who lives at Gatcombe Park (opens in new tab) with wife Zara, added, "We're not sure what to do, Covi or Covina – I don't know where to go with names."
The baby is the second royal baby on the way in 2021 with Princess Eugenie expecting her first child in the new year.

The baby news will be a delight to the Tindall family, after the Queen's grand-daughter previously spoke of her agony at suffering two miscarriages before having her second child.
In opening up on the loss, Zara explained, "You don't talk about it because it's too raw. But as with everything, time's a great healer,"
The couple lost a baby in December 2016 - just a month after announcing the pregnancy. And she later suffered a second miscarriage before her daughter Lena was born in June 2018.
In an interview with The Sunday Times she revealed, "I had to go through having the baby because it was so far along. I then had another miscarriage really early on."

A third suggested Princess Beatrice should follow suit. They wrote, "Congrats to Zara and Mike Tindall on this amazing news that’s two Royal Babies next year. Maybe @yorkiebea can make it a third."
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said, "Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh are aware and delighted."
The Queen currently has eight great-grandchildren.
