Radio 1 star Roisin Hastie delightedly announces pregnancy live on-air

Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter Roisin Hastie has revealed she’s pregnant with her first child.

Roisin, who presents Breakfast radio with her co-host Greg James, announced the exciting news live on air on Thursday morning.

The presenter then took to Instagram after sharing the news with listeners at home, posing for a photo while excitedly pointing towards her bump.

On that morning’s show, Greg, 36, introduced his co-star by saying: “Finally, we go to Roisin who is from The Wirral, and in the studio is sat in front of me.”

She then announced to listeners: “It’s probably about time you all knew that I am having a baby.”

Greg could be heard cheering in the background before adding: “We realised we hadn’t told any of the listeners yet and it was getting stupid.”

“Actually, Greg you knew before my parents,” Rosie added. “It was just early morning work stuff, I had to tell you I’m pregnant.”

Roisin then posted the clip of her announcement to Instagram – as well as a photo of her in the studio showing off her bump while wearing a leopard print jumpsuit.

“So special getting to share the best news ever on air today,” she wrote in the caption.

“We are so overwhelmed by all the lovely messages, thank you. Little pumpkin due the end of October.”

Her friends and fans took to the comments section to congratulate her, including co-stars Charlie Hedges and Arielle Free.

It’s not the first time recently that someone has announced a pregnancy live on air on Greg James’ show.

Back in March, Radio 1’s Rickie Haywood-Williams revealed he’s set to become a dad again.

Rickie, 41, shared a picture of him cuddling his partner Natalie Harman as she cradled her bump, as they prepare to welcome their new arrival.

Embracing her bump, the pair beamed in the photo as Rickie captioned the image: “Baby is on the way! #lovemadeusdoit .”

And he excitedly added on his Instagram story: “I’m going to be a new dad again.”

His announcement came just weeks after his co-host Charlie Hedges announced she is also expecting live on Greg James’ Breakfast show .

Charlie, 35, made the revelation during the ‘Tell Me Something Good’ segment of the show.

As Greg asked her to share some good news with him, Charlie dropped the bombshell: “I’m having a baby.”

As the music cut, a stunned Greg replied: “You… what are you talking about?”

“You’re having a baby! Are you joking? What are you talking about?”

Charlie then stood up to show off her bump, and said: “I’m having a baby Greg! Surprise!”

Fans were quick to share their excitement over the news as one person wrote on Twitter: “@charliehedges just casually dropping big news during “tell me something good”. Congratulations Charlie! I loved @gregjames’ reaction I think he was as shocked as everyone else was! @BBCR1,” followed by several crying with laughter emojis.
