Fearne is currently expecting her second child with husband Jesse Wood and revealed in February she would be leaving BBC Radio1. Clara Amfo will act as her replacement on the mid-morning show.

Shortly after announcing her decision, Fearne told HELLO! Online: "It's time for a new chapter. There's never been a moment when I haven't enjoyed it but I had thought about it and having a baby made the decision slightly easier."

Fearne and Rex, who are parents to two-year-old son Rex, married in July 2014 in London. Just like they did with their first-born, the couple are keeping the gender of their second baby a surprise.

"I will be happy with either," Fearne added. "I have a step daughter [Jesse's daughter Lola] so I have that lovely scenario anyway. I just feel lucky to be pregnant again."
