- Pregnant Sian Welby is 37 years old and is experiencing her first pregnancy with Jake Beckett.
- The couple’s relationship status is engaged, and they were planning to marry before the departure of Roman Kemp from the radio show.
- Sian’s struggle with giving up alcohol is not only due to the pregnancy but also because she is finding the change more difficult than anticipated.
- The presenter’s commitment to her dietary changes is a testament to her dedication to her health and the health of her fetus.
Sian Welby, who is 29 weeks pregnant and expecting her first child with her fiancé Jake Beckett, has shared her experience of giving up alcohol during her pregnancy. She admitted that it has been much harder than she anticipated, especially while on holiday in Tenerife with Jake. Sian, who is 37 and a presenter on Capital Breakfast, shared a photo of Jake enjoying a glass of white wine on Instagram, captioning it, “Not drinking on this holiday is so much harder than I ever expected.” This comes after the departure of Roman Kemp from the radio show, prompting the couple to take a well-deserved break.
The NHS advises against drinking alcohol during pregnancy due to the potential long-term harm it can cause to the baby, with the risk increasing with the amount consumed. Sian also showcased her growing baby bump in a holiday look book, featuring maternity style outfits, including a bright orange, black, and blue trouser and crop top set, and a tiered, off-white bikini with super-thin straps that highlighted her bump.
Sian announced her pregnancy live on Capital Radio in February, expressing her excitement and surprise at being able to share the news with her audience. She became engaged to Jake, a Heart Radio producer, during a romantic holiday to Greece in 2023. Sian’s career has spanned various roles, including a stint as a weather girl on Channel 5, before moving on to Heart FM and the BBC. She also hosts This Morning and was considered a potential replacement for Holly Willoughby before Cat Deeley was chosen. Sian is set to return to Capital Radio on Monday.
