Radio One star announces her pregnancy to listeners live on-air with Greg James' help

Radio One Newsbeat Roisin Hastie has revealed she is pregnant with her first child, live on-air with breakfast host Greg James.

The radio star also took to Instagram this morning to give fans a glimpse of her bump, after breaking the news on the airwaves first.

"So special getting to share the best news ever on air today," the journalist captioned the sweet shot.

"Me and @jimmyjimmyblake are so overwhelmed by all the lovely messages, thank you little pumpkin due end of October."

The pregnant star first shared the happy news with the help of her co-worker Greg.

"Finally, we go to Roisin who is from The Wirral, and in the studio is sat in front of me," Greg, 36, introduced the mum-to-be this morning.

Roisin went on to tell 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," the newsreader added. "It was just early morning work stuff, I had to tell you I'm pregnant."

After sharing the happy news with her Instagram followers, Roisin's co-star Charlie Hedges congratulated her fellow mum-to-be.

"Congratulations to a beautiful mumma and dadda to be, lots of love xxxx," the DJ wrote to her co-worker, just weeks after announcing her own pregnancy.

Roisin's fans were quick to send their well wishes her way, too.

One person wrote: "Congratulations [heart emoji] you crease me with @greg_james in the mornings."

Another penned: "I love this! The radio turned on as I started the car at exactly the point you said “IM HAVING A BABYYYY!!!” Best way to start the day!!! Congrats! X"

Greg was also on hand to help Charlie share her baby news on air, as she told Radio One listeners she was expecting her first baby earlier this year.

It comes after DJ Rickie Haywood-Williams announced his girlfriend is pregnant while on Greg's show.

The dad-of-two, 41, also shared a picture of him cuddling his girlfriend as she cradled her blossoming bump.

"Baby is on the way!" he wrote.

He added on his Instagram story: "I'm going to be a new dad again."
