Sian Welby has revealed she’s expecting a baby girl, as she prepares to welcome her first child with fiancé Jake Beckett.

The Capital Breakfast host, 38, who previously kept the gender top secret, revealed the happy news on the radio show on Thursday morning.

On what Jordan North dubbed as Sian’s ‘baby shower show’, the mother-to-be couldn’t help but reveal the gender to her fellow presenters and listeners.

She said: ‘I’m at that point where I’m 38 weeks – I’ve got 11 days to go.

‘Before I go off on baby leave, I do want to share one thing with everyone because I’ve decided that Capital Breakfast, it doesn’t have listeners, we are a family and I have told my nearest and dearest what me and my partner Jake are having.

‘And I know you are all invested. So I’m going to tell you what I’m having – it’s a girl!’

Co-star Jordan surprised Sian with a baby Burnley football kit which read ‘Baby Welby’ on the back as she nears her due date and prepares to head off on maternity leave.

After her surprising announcement, fellow co-star Chris Stark said: ‘You are going to have the most amazing time, I’ve got a little girl myself.

‘She’s 9 but watching her grow up has been so special for me, she’s intelligent, she’s creative. Having a little girl – just having a baby is going to be amazing.’

Jordan said: ‘I mean thing when I say it, you’re both going to be great parents. You’re going to be the best mum and he’s going to be the best dad. Honestly we’re so happy for you.’

Sian left the breakfast show on Thursday morning and will be replaced by Kemi Rogers while she is on maternity.

The This Morning presenter announced she is expecting her first child with her fiancé Jake back in February, and that she is due to give birth in June.

Sian said at the time: ‘I think I want to share something with the group right now, actually.

‘Seriously, guys: got a bit of an announcement for you. I’m pregnant! I don’t know how I’ve managed to keep it from you for this long, but I am, it’s not a joke.’

Sian became engaged to Heart Radio producer Jake during a romantic holiday to Greece in 2023.

It comes after Sian admitted she is finding giving up alcohol ‘so much harder than I ever expected’ during her pregnancy.

Last month, Sian jetted off to Tenerife with fiancé Jake for a holiday and while sharing an insight into their trip on Instagram, she uploaded a photo of Jake enjoying a glass of white wine.

She captioned the post: ‘Not drinking on this holiday is so much harder than I ever expected’.

The NHS recommends if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant you should not drink alcohol.

Drinking in pregnancy can lead to long-term harm to the baby, with the more you drink, the greater the risk.
