Baby’s gender revealed with blue fountain

ACONCRETE contractor came up with an apt way to reveal the gender of his baby – by shooting gallons of blue water out of a giant cement pump in the middle of the street.

Josh Dean, 26, who owns his own concrete pumping business, and his partner, Chloe Cross, 25, came up with the creative way to surprise their loved ones.

After finding out the gender at a 16-week scan, Josh enlisted the help of his colleagues to fill the tank with water and dye it blue for a boy – ready for the big reveal.

The excited pair gathered 40 friends and family into the street to watch the moment the bright blue water shot out of the pump.

Chloe, a system support officer from Radstock, Somerset, said: “It looked so dramatic when the water came shooting out.

“We knew it was going to be a good reveal.

“It was such a fun day – everyone was really surprised.”

Chloe and Josh had been together for about four months when they decided to start trying for a family.

The pair were overjoyed to discover Chloe had fallen pregnant in March.

She said: “We were close friends for seven years before we got together.

“I couldn’t wait to start a family with him.”

The pair wanted to jump on the modern “gender reveal” trend to surprise their loved ones.

They came up with lots of ideas but their favourite came from Josh, who owns a construction company called Dean’s Concrete Pumping.

Chloe said: “They use a couple of massive pumps for the cement.

“He thought it would be a cool idea to use one and fill the tank with coloured liquid.

“I’ve never heard of a gender reveal like it before.”

The pair went for a scan at the

Royal United Hospital in nearby Bath, and invited all their family and friends to the big reveal afterwards.

Unfortunately, doctors couldn’t see the gender of the baby but feeling undeterred, the couple booked a private scan a few days later.

They found out they were expecting a little boy and Josh got to work filling the pump ready for the reveal.

Chloe said: “We had already invited everyone to come and watch so we had to book another scan.

“Josh is the only one who can work the pipe, so he had to find out the gender. He couldn’t keep the secret from me, so I knew, but it was a surprise for everyone else.”

The couple gathered with their family and friends on a street in Radstock near their home to watch the big reveal.

Chloe uploaded the footage onto her TikTok and watched the views racking up – now they have nearly one million views and more than 45,000 likes.
