Sara Cox has two other young children named Lola and Isaac

Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox has given birth to a girl, it's been confirmed.

The new arrival, who has been named Renee, was delivered at 0830 on Friday 12 March with the family said to be doing well.

The 35-year-old former breakfast show host already has two other children - Lola, who's five years old and Isaac, who's two.

She recently admitted on air to Chris Moyles that she was keen to give birth and joked about the size of her bump.

"It's massive, it's pretty big," she said. "It's like I'm hiding the Pennines under here."

Matt Edmondson, who recently joined Radio 1 as an entertainment news presenter on Friday afternoons, will fill in for Cox on her Sunday morning show.
