The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh, 60, – who has daughter Hayley from a previous relationship – announced she is expecting a baby on her business Instagram page. The 39-year-old shared a sign which read “on maternity leave” alongside a caption explaining her “lack of posts”.
The reflexologist wrote: “Hellloooo! I hope everybody’s safe and well and getting through this lockdown OK.. (GAH!!! it’s been a toughie, eh?…)
“My apologies for the lack of posts recently, finding out we were expecting was just incredible, however being pregnant during this lockdown has been a little tricky at times, so I’ve been spending the last few months frantically trying to learn as much as possible online (thank you @pbbevents) and preparing for the baby’s arrival.”
She added: “I’m really missing treating you all and was hoping to have at least a few weeks of relaxed lockdown rules after Christmas to see some of you before I go off on Maternity leave end of Feb, which I just dont see happening now, unfortunately.”
