The latest edition to the Lowery family will be the couple’s first daughter, who will be the younger sister to Kieran and Bradley.

Speaking in May when she revealed the pregnancy, Gemma said: “Now this decision didn’t come lightly, Carl and I have so much love to give, so after lots of conversations, I have some news to tell you…

“Baby Lowery number 3 on its way, we decided to start trying in January for a baby and it didn’t take long to see them two lines on the pregnancy stick.

“Bradley is going to be the best guardian angel to his little brother or sister.

Bradley died on July 7, 2017. His cheeky smile and never-ending cheerfulness were an inspiration to so many, with his spirit continuing to support families today.

In the wake of Bradley’s death three years ago, his family – from Blackhall – channelled their grief into the creation of a charity in his name.

To date, the Bradley Lowery Foundation has supported poorly children who face a range of challenges in fundraising for treatment and equipment, developed a holiday home in Scarborough so families can make precious memories, and launched a support line for the parents of children with cancer – raising more than £3 million in the process.
