  • He dropped heavy weights onto bags of colored powder – but it went awry

A couple’s gender reveal took a very unexpected turn – with the hilarious moment caught on camera.

Franz-Geoffrey Ordonia and girlfriend Leilani Magaoay had gathered their friends and family for the party in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The announcement was tailored specifically for fitness enthusiast Franz as he dropped heavy weights onto bags of colored powder which would reveal if the baby was a boy or girl.

But things did not go to plan.

Others described her as being a ‘real trooper,’ as one person wrote: ‘I love how she still lets them have their moment together, and she didn’t scream, or get up, make a scene, even though she was fighting for her life – she sat quietly fighting for her life.’

The caption read: ‘To everyone asking for her P.O.V. and after picture! Thank you Lila for taking one for the team… team BOY!!
