Baby joy for Richard Bacon

Baby on the way ... Richard Bacon

RADIO host Richard Bacon is expecting his first child.

The 35-year-old former Blue Peter star broke the news to his fans on Twitter today.
The Radio 5 live DJ revealed his wife, Rebecca, is 14 weeks pregnant, but the baby's sex has not yet been revealed.
The presenter called on his Twitter followers to offer some advice on impending fatherhood - and cheekily asked if he'd be able to take his tot on nights out with him to celebrity spot The Groucho Club in London's Soho.
Richard wrote: "We're having a baby. Our first one. What's this whole fatherhood business like then? Are babies allowed in The Groucho?"
He married Rebecca in 2008 at Babington House, Somerset after the pair dated for 18-months.
The former Big Breakfast star had put off surgery on a non-cancerous growth on his vocal cords so he could say his vows before setting off on a honeymoon in the Maldives.
The pair met while they were both working at Capital Radio.
