The One Show presenter Angela Scanlon has announced she is pregnant – and she’s desperately hoping her baby ends up having ginger hair.
The 33-year-old revealed she is six months pregnant and explained that she had been suffering with sickness throughout the pregnancy so far.
The Irish TV personality - who also hosts Robot Wars - shared her news with funny posts across her Twitter and Instagram pages.
On Twitter, Angela shared an amusing picture of a full bellied orangutan with her 50k followers, with the following words emblazoned across it: '"Get pregnant" they said. "You'll glow" they said.'
Angela captioned the funny snap: 'SO. I've been baking for 6 months now... and I've made a bun!
'It's currently in the oven & will be ready by Springtime.
'Apart from feeling severe resentment at the lack of promised “glow” we are so, SO delighted…plus, my hair looks great!! 💅🏻xx.’
And for good measure, Angela also posted to her Instagram account, sharing her announcement – of her in a dusky pink trouser suit pointing excitedly at her belly, with her 77.4k followers.

red-head used the same caption from her Twitter image, but added: 'We are so, SO thrilled (since I've taken my head out of the toilet bowl) and can't wait to welcome a mad, wonderful little human into our world. 🌎'
Following the cute announcement, the comments of congrats came flooding in from fans.
'Congrats, exciting times ahead! I'm due in Feb...so nice to share the news #bumpsout’ said one.
This fan was on the same ‘ginger hair’ train as Angela: ‘Big Congrats!! I wished so hard both of my babies would be ginger like me. They weren’t but I’ve forgiven them’
A third fan could hardly contain their excitement: ‘Angela!!!! This is amazing news!!!! You’re going to make the most WONDERFULLY fabulous Mum, lucky little bun’
