Annie Kilner has shared a glimpse inside her lavish baby shower, as she prepares to welcome her fifth child with husband Kyle Walker.
The WAG, 33, who already shares four children with the footballer, 35, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to reshare her pal’s photos from the bash.
The snaps showed tables decorated with displays of white roses, while guests were treated with champagne and iced biscuits decorated to look like onesies, while they played classic prediction games, such as guessing who the baby would look like.
Another shot showed a table laden with a number of delicious looking snacks, including miniature eclairs, cakes, meringues and fruit tarts, as well as a two-tiered white cake.
Annie’s friend sweetly captioned the shots: ‘Gorgeous day yesterday for a gorgeous mumma to be’.
In February, Annie announced she is expecting a baby girl, after already being mother to four boys, Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, two.

She wrote: ‘We’re delighted to be expecting our baby girl. I won’t be entertaining speculation or drama around such a personal, private and happy moment for me and my family!’
She and Kyle are said to be stronger than ever as they prepare to welcome a new addition to their family later this year.
The couple have told their sons that their little sister will be arriving in the summer and her name will also begin with an R, but no final decision has been made as yet.
The Daily Mail’s Katie Hind revealed Annie is due to give birth in June having announced the surprise pregnancy news with their loved ones over Christmas.
Kyle is also dad to son Kairo, five, and Kinara, two, with Lauryn Goodman, with whom he had brief flings during rough times in his marriage.
Childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie married in 2021 but their relationship hit the rocks in January 2024 after it was revealed that he was the father of Kinara.
Lauryn controversially messaged Annie on Boxing Day 2023 to reveal she was expecting her second child with Kyle.
News that Annie is pregnant has been seen as evidence that the couple have put their high-profile marriage problems behind them, having been on the brink of divorce following Lauryn’s revelation.
A source told the Daily Mail that Annie desperately wanted a baby to ‘complete’ their family and help make their marriage stronger.

The insider added: ‘Kyle came back from Italy last year and since then Annie made it clear to him that she wanted her boys to have another baby sibling. She believes that a baby will help put all their troubles behind them.
‘Their family and close friends were shocked when they heard because there are still some issues between them. It’s a bit risky because sometimes, a new baby can add more pressure to a marriage. But everybody is very happy for them and doing all they can to support Annie.’
Kyle fled to Italy last year to spend the second half of the season with AC Milan in a bid to escape the saga surrounding himself and Lauryn.
He joined Serie A giants AC Milan but his spell with the seven-time Champions League winners failed to garner a permanent move, resulting in Kyle returning to the UK to join Premier League newcomers Burnley.
But playing in the North-West enabled Kyle to return to his lavish Cheshire mansion with Annie and their four boys and rekindle their relationship.
However, Lauryn has been accused of stoking her rift with both Annie and Kyle on social media to keep the issue in the public eye.
The source revealed: ‘Annie and her close friends and family are bracing themselves for how Lauryn might respond to this.
‘But given how she’s conducted herself in the past, we fear that she’s not going to like it and it could get messy.’

In 2024 Lauryn lost her court battle with Kyle over how much money she should receive for their children.
Judge Edward Hess slammed her for ‘insatiable greed’ claiming she attempted to use the defender, who earns around £160,000 per week, as an ‘open ended cheque book’ and ‘repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted’.
Her demands included a £31,000 Astro Turf, £30,000 for air conditioning, a £70,000 car allowance every three years, plus a car for the nanny and £150,000 annual child maintenance.
In his ruling the judge also slammed Lauryn for her Boxing Day message to Annie declaring: ‘This was intended to, and did, cause distress to the father’s wife (Annie).
‘I do not accept the mother’s explanation that this text message was sent in an attempt to create a good working relationship between the two women in the father’s life.’
