Capital Breakfast presenter Sian Welby announced live on air during Wednesday’s show that she is expecting her first child.
Sian shared the exciting news with radio hosts Roman Kemp and Chris Stark as she revealed her due date in the summer.
The 37-year-old presenter said: ‘I have a little announcement for you! I am pregnant! I don’t know how I managed to hide it from you for so long.
‘The lies, the deception, the mocktails! I couldn’t wait to tell you. This is a whole new journey for me and I want to take you all with me, and don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere!
“This is going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to share it with you all.”

Reacting to the news, Sian’s co-host Roman said: ‘Oh my god! Oh buddy, I’m so happy for you and Jake too!’ and Chris Stark said, ‘Is this real? It’s the most exciting news ever!’
Sian was inundated with texts and calls from Capital listeners this morning congratulating her on the news.
Sian will take a break over the summer but return to Capital Breakfast later this year with Jordan North, Chris and Sian.
It comes after she missed out on the coveted This Morning hosting gig, which was awarded to Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
