Alex Jones is pregnant!
The One Show host revealed that she and husband Charlie are expecting their third.
She told viewers on tonight’s show: “It seems like a good time to share some news with everybody, and the crew and the studio.
“Lockdown has been anything but predictable and we’ve had some really unexpected news.
“Baby number three is on the way!”
Co-host Ronan Keating led the applause which came from behind the camera as well.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Alex gushed.
“Congratulations,” Ronan said, “That’s fantastic news!”
And Alex even added that she’s having a little girl when Ronan – who himself had daughter Coco last year – quizzed her.
The girl will be a little sister to Alex and Charlie’s sons Teddy and Kit, born in 2019.
She had announced she was pregnant with Kit in a similar way in 2018.
“Now I have some news!” she’d said.
“No I haven’t been eating all the mince pies! There is a little baby, look! I am expecting another baby.”
BBC colleagues and fans alike have been congratulating Alex since she shared her news.
“Gorgeous news @MissAlexJones,” wrote BBC Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball.
Alex has spoken before about expanding her family, and how difficult it was to conceive Kit.
“I have to say, the first time – absolutely fine. Luckily, God, it happened,” the presenter told The Sun.
“But second time, not as easy. I suppose I’m older now, but we took it for granted that it would be OK. But you don’t really know until you start trying how it’s going to go, do you?”
*The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
