Hayden Panettiere has revealed she is expecting a baby girl.

The 'Nashville' star - who showed off her growing baby bump at the Emmy awards in Los Angeles last night (26.08.14) - revealed that she and fiancé Wladimir Klitschko are going to be welcoming a little girl into the world when she gives birth.

Speaking to E! on the red carpet, Hayden said: ''I can't wait for her to come out, this little one.''

When asked if ''It's a girl?'' Hayden added: ''I think I just said that, didn't I? Yes, it's a little girl.''

The 25-year-old actress also confessed she and her Ukrainian heavyweight boxer fiancé have been thinking about what to call their new child in order to respect both of their cultures.

She explained: ''We have to make sure that it is American and Ukrainian all at the same time.

''That's a little rough ... We're still working on it.''

Meanwhile, Hayden - who admits her pregnancy has ''accentuated'' her craving for chicken noodle soup - has been doing lots of planning for the arrival of her first child and daughter.

She added: ''I like to shop ... I want to go shopping for my girl. I want to paint the room appropriately.''
