She also revealed her fourth child will be a boy.

Karsashian West, who was joined on the show by sisters Kourtney and Khloe, said the baby will arrive “sometime soon”.

Her sisters were shocked she was announcing the news and Kardashian West, 38, said: “Well, it’s out there. I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and I told some people. I can’t remember who I told, because I never get drunk.”

She and West, 41, are already parents to daughter North, five, and three-year-old son Saint.

The couple welcomed a daughter, Chicago, via surrogate last January.
