A BBC Radio 1 star has revealed her pregnancy live on air.

The 35-year-old announced her happy news while hosting a quiz for her colleagues, with Mollie and Matt left screaming from the surprise.

She said: ‘I’ve got a question for you guys and that is: What is the last message that you were sent on WhatsApp. So if you could all open your WhatsApps, please.’

As the pair then expressed their shock and squealed loudly, Katie explained: ‘I’ve just sent Matt and Mollie a scan photo and a message saying me and Alex are having a baby.

‘I was so scared that that would go wrong, like the WiFi wouldn’t send it.’ 

The Saturdays star Mollie, who is expecting her second child with fiancé Stuart Broad was particularly excited by the news, with Katie revealing she’d been wanting to spill the beans to her fellow mum-to-be.

She shared: ‘I mean, oh my god Mollie I’ve wanted to talk to you about this so much. 

‘There was a day when you walked past us and I was like, “how are you2 and you were like, “I’ve been so sick” and I was thinking, “me too I’m so sick but I can’t tell anyone yet”. But yeah, I’m due in March so not that far behind you really.’

After the sweet radio announcement, Katie took to Instagram to confirm her happy news with a sweet video montage.
