LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Pregnant U.S. reality television personality Melissa Rycroft announced on "The Talk" Wednesday she is expecting a girl.

Rycroft is known for her appearances on "The Bachelor" and "Dancing with the Stars."

During Wednesday's "Talk" interview, hosts Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert and Leah Remini guessed the sex of the baby and gave Rycroft gifts in either blue or pink.

After the presents were bestowed, Rycroft held up the two pink gifts -- a blanket and a bathrobe given to her from Gilbert and Remini, respectively -- and said, "Of the gifts in my lap, I think I am going to take home the pink!"

The crowd erupted in applause and Chen exclaimed: "We wish you all the luck in the world. Congratulations!"
