Natalie Pinkham is expecting a baby girl.
The Formula One presenter is set to welcome her daughter into the world with her businessman husband Owain Walbyoff in June following a difficult pregnancy in which she sadly miscarried the little girl's twin during the early months.
She explained: "The first two months were a real roller coaster. We had this strange phase of not knowing if we there would be two babies or one or none."
However, the presenter isn't the first member of her family to fall pregnant with twins and then tragically lose one as her mother and great-grandmother also lost their sibling.
She added: "It's nature's way and it is sad. My dad put it in a lovely way and said: 'One has made way for the other.' "
Meanwhile, despite her loss, the 37-year-old beauty and her spouse, who got married in 2012, are looking forward to giving their 11-month-old son Wilfred a sister to play with.
She told HELLO! magazine: "I feel so lucky and blessed. I always wanted a little brother or sister for Wilf, but didn't expect to get pregnant so quickly!
"I only did the pregnancy test to rule it out because I honestly thought...this can't be why I'm feeling a bit funny! When I saw it was positive, I nearly fell off my chair!"

Ricky Wilson thinks 'The Voice' won't get any better when it moves to ITV next year.
The longstanding coach on the talent show announced he won't be staying on for a sixth season after the BBC recently sold the rights to its competitor and insists the winning format will be "hard" to top when it makes its shift next year.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I think it (this season) is a massive blow out in a good way especially for the BBC because they've honestly made a series that it is going to be hard for whoever takes on the mantle to top, because it's so good. I think we've made an un-remake-able programme."
Meanwhile, Ricky and will.i.am are joined on the panel by Culture Club's Boy George and Brit Award winner Paloma Faith - who replaced sacked Tom Jones and Rita Ora - and the Kaiser Chiefs frontman says the new judges are definitely "louder" but it's the best it's ever been.
He explained: "Everything's changed. I love them both. Well, it's a lot louder. You might have noticed I'm watching a lot more. I'm really enjoying this. The first year I was absolutely terrified. Second year I was obsessed by winning it. And then, the third year, now people were like, 'Why are you doing again?' and I've got to admit, it's because I love it."
'The Voice' returns to screens across the nation on Saturday (09.01.12) on BBC One.

Darcey Bussell gets "paranoid" about the skintight dresses she wears on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 46-year-old former prima ballerina is one of four judges on the programme, but finds herself worrying about how she'll look in the ensembles she dons for the panel.
She said: "I get a bit paranoid about doing Strictly and having to wear a skin-tight dress every week, so during these periods I try to exercise more.
"As a dancer, you become ultra-sensitive to certain foods because you know how badly they affect you.
"When it comes to getting into a nice dress or not growing out of old clothes, I cut out bread and red meat. Instead, I have a lot of chicken and fish."
Darcey needn't worry, however, as she rarely looks anything but flawless on screen. But she admits she does get concerned about how her appearance is changing as she gets older.
She told Women & Home magazine: "You can't help worrying about aging, especially when everything goes a bit south. You forget how quickly you change. But I like to change my hair colour or cut. Then I feel alive and that stimulates me to feel younger. I would never take any unnatural risks - I've been under the knife too many times with injuries as a dancers, so I wouldn't want to be under the knife for anything else."

Lorraine Kelly's first crush was Mr Spock from 'Star Trek'.
The 'Lorraine' host admits she has always loved the science fiction franchise and still has the Mr Spock doll her father gave her when she was a young girl.
She said: "I've loved Star Trek since I was a child in the 60s and Mr Spock was my first crush! Steve bought me this Spock doll many years ago and it's one of my most treasured possessions.
"My dad and I have always loved science fiction and astronomy and I remember he bought me a telescope for my fifth birthday. I actually had the pleasure of interviewing Leonard Nimoy who played Mr Spock on my show in 1995 and I was totally star-struck. It was very sad when he died last year."
The 56-year-old television presenter also has another hero, Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton.
She added to the Daily Mail's Weekend magazine: "This flat is full of some of my favourite things, like these Ernest Shackleton stamps - the Antarctic explorer has been my all-time hero since I was a child and I've collected memorabilia for years.
"I'd like to visit his grave at Grytviken in the South Atlantic - I'd be able to see penguins too; I love them and this certificate is for the one named after me at London Zoo."

will.i.am thinks Boy George is "very quick and funny".
The 'Scream and Shout' hitmaker has praised the new 'The Voice' coaches, Boy George and Paloma Faith, and feels the programme is more "honest" now.
He said: "He's very quick and funny and Paloma just speaks her mind, which is rare in this business. There's an honesty about the programme now which I like, and it all feels a bit anarchic, as if the parents have left."
And the 40-year-old star also praised former judge Tom Jones, who was shockingly ditched by bosses without any warning.
He added to The Times newspaper: "I really liked Tom. He was great and I understand he was upset, but we move on now and the show goes on again."
Meanwhile, the show's host Marvin Humes insists the viewers will be "blown away" by the new recruits.
He said previously: "People are going to be blown away by these two. They are really, really great for the show and Will i.am and Ricky Wilson do a great job anyway, but I think people are going to be very shocked."

Georgia May Foote enjoyed a romantic trip to Disneyland with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner.
The former 'Coronation Street' beauty has reportedly given boyfriend Sean Ward the boot and was seen holding hands with dancing professional Giovanni Pernice as they rang in the new year in Paris.
An onlooker said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw them together. They looked like a very happy couple. They were laughing and joking and holding hands.
"It seems very strange she would come here with Giovanni after Sean said they were still together and that he wasn't worried. I feel sorry for him."
The 24-year-old beauty - who bonded with Giovanni when they competed on the BBC One show - was also spotted kissing the Italian hunk.
Another onlooker added to The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "They were definitely trying to keep a low profile, but seemed really besotted. I almost didn't recognise Georgia when I saw her. But once I'd seen them both, it was a real surprise to see how much they were behaving like a couple. They were kissing in full view of lots of people.
"People definitely started to notice them in the hotel. One morning Giovanni ate his breakfast alone, but he made sure he took her breakfast in bed. He was seen disappearing into the lift with some extra food. He obviously wanted to spoil her and treat her really well."

Lauren Goodger took selfies because she felt insecure.
The 'Only Way Is Essex' star loved snapping self-portraits and uploading them online but insists she didn't do it to be vain but only to "have control" over how she looked.
She said: "It wasn't because I'm vain. It's because of being insecure. I have control over the way I look in my own pictures.
"I was called a 'disgusting beached whale' and one girl said I looked like I weighed 40 stone. But it was those pictures that made me realise how fat I'd got and that I really had to do something about my weight - or I'd be fat for life. They were horrendous - I felt mortified."
The 29-year-old television personality - who has dropped an impressive four stone - is looking forward to head out on her first girls' holiday in four years and is even considering posing for nude photo shoots in the near future.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I'm really looking forward to going on a beach and being photographed because I know there are no bad angles on me any more. I haven't been on a girls' holiday in four years because I didn't feel comfortable. Now I can't wait to book one!
"I want to be naked every day! I'd definitely be up for nude shoots now while I'm young and haven't got kids."

Christopher Maloney is set to enter the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The former 'X Factor' contestant has been lined up to join the programme after Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend Koo Stark made a shock departure just days before the launch.
The news that Christopher will be entering the reality television show will please fellow contestant Danniella Westbrook as the pair are good pals, the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper reports.
Meanwhile, host Emma Willis previously revealed the show's bosses are going for a Vaudeville theme this year.
She shared: "It's going to be quite a theatrical and dramatic theme. The house will look theatrical and plush. And the garden is like an old Whitechapel street, Jack the Ripper-style, which will be amazing.
"We're going to basically see an amazing period drama play out over the weeks. It's about testing how good they are as actors. Will their masks slip? There's always going to be a sinister side to any 'Big Brother' theme and I'm sure there was a sinister side to Vaudeville. So it's going to be Big Brother being naughty and messing with them."
