'Baby boy loves my music'

Ms Dynamite has revealed that she is expecting a baby boy. The singer, due to give birth in July, let slip the sex of her baby during the Capital FM Awards.

Despite cravings for ice cream and cake, the Mercury Music Prize winner said: "There's an old wives' tale that you don't put on weight when you are expecting a boy and that's certainly true with me." The R&B star, named Favourite UK Female at the awards ceremony at the Lancaster Hotel yesterday, also revealed that she plays music to her unborn son.

She said: "It's not classical music, it's what I usually listen to. And he really moves around when I play him my own stuff." Ms Dynamite 21, who is engaged to the baby's father, Dwayne Seaforth, plays at Brixton Academy on 26 April.
