‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter Charlotte Hawkins is pregnant.
The 39-year-old star revealed she is expecting her first child on the TV breakfast show this morning (12.08.14) shortly after discussing a news story about a woman whose waist grew to 139cm during her first pregnancy.
She said: "I’m pregnant, I’m happy to announce, expecting a baby and that kind of story fills me with dread!
"I’m hoping I won’t reach that record."
Charlotte’s co-star Susanna Reid – who has three children – joked: "Who would have thought that working on Good Morning Britain could be so productive!"
Charlotte – who has been married to husband Mark Herbert since 2008 – admitted later on the show that she will be leaning on her fellow presenters Susanna, Ben Shephard, who has two sons, and Sean Fletcher, who has a son and a daughter, for advice.
She said: "My husband Mark and I are absolutely thrilled to be expecting our first child. I’ve been looking forward to sharing the news with everyone, and can’t wait to be a mother for the first time.
"Luckily I have my fellow ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenters on hand who’ve already been through it, so I’ll be relying on them for expert advice!"
Several stars took to Twitter to congratulate the blonde beauty on her news.
