The TV favourite shared the joyous news on social media, saying: "What a way to start the year - the last few days have been nothing short of immense. I'll be handing over my Thursday night @bbcradioscot duties to the excellent @ravisagoogram for a short spell - thanks, Ravi. Catch him from 10pm on @bbcsounds.

Natasha had kept her pregnancy a secret (BBC)Fans had been suspecting that Natasha was expecting her first child after noticing in recent snaps that she had cleverly hidden her bump in pictures that were taken from the waist up.
The 37-year-old star is well known for presenting shows such as The One Show, BBC Radio Scotland, Flog It!, Baggage Battles and often features on Bargain Hunt. She also happens to be the daughter of respected Scottish artist Philip Raskin, who specialises in seascapes and landscapes - so it's clear creativity runs in the family.
Her dad has had a significant impact on her career. She once shared, "I was gently nudged in the direction of the antiques trade and auction houses by my dad, who thought that I'd be well-suited to the environment. Although I'd never normally admit it, he was absolutely right!"
