Caitriona announced her pregnancy back in April, saying that "keen-eyed" viewers had spotted her with a baby bump on TV. She said: "Just want to say a quick thank you to the many keen-eyed @rtenews viewers who have been in touch with good wishes. Well spotted! I am indeed expecting some more news of my own later this year."

Caitriona gave birth to a baby girl in 2019.
