The parents of Paige Doherty have revealed they will welcome a new baby later this year.

Pamela Munro is 30 weeks along with her fifth child, a daughter, with husband Andy, to be born in the summer.

The couple revealed the news exclusively to our sister paper the Clydebank Post and said the baby has given the family - including children Andrew, 11, Peyton, 5, and one-year-old Lucas - a positive aspect to focus on after the tragic death of the beloved 15-year-old last year.

The duo said: "It was always our intention to have a baby this year. We never planned it but when it happened it was a positive thing for us to focus on.

"It will never replace Paige and we wouldn't want it to but we have always wanted a big family.

"Paige would have loved a new wee sister."
