Konnie Huq, 36, is expecting a baby with her comedy writer husband Charlie Brooker.

The former Blue Peter and Xtra Factor presenter is expecting a boy in the spring.

The pair were married at a ceremony in Las Vegas in 2010.

He also hosted his own show Screenwipe and Newsipe shows for the BBC.

Earlier this year it was announced Huq was leaving The Xtra Factor and being replaced by Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.
