Kirsty Young is expecting her first baby, it has been announced.
She and husband Nick Jones are said to be delighted at the news,
which follows their marriage in September last year.
The baby is due in spring 2001 and Young has already said she plans
to return to work after maternity
leave, as her ITN colleague Katie
Derham has recently done.
Kirsty, 31, told the Daily Mail: “I’m excited and
delighted and more than thrilled. It’s wonderful.
“I’ve been very sick and word has got round. I think it’s
become terribly obvious so I thought I might as well say now, even
though I’m only nine weeks pregnant.
“It’s very early days yet but we are both really over the
moon.”
Kirsty is already a step-mum because her husband Nick has two
children from his first marriage. She said earlier this year that she
got on very well with his children and that she would love to have
children with him in the future.
Celebrity mums due to give birth this month include Catherine
Zeta Jones and Emma
Noble, wife of James Major.
