She said: "My husband Mark and I are absolutely thrilled to be expecting our first child. I've been looking forward to sharing the news with everyone, and can't wait to be a mother for the first time.
"Luckily I have my fellow 'Good Morning Britain' presenters on hand who've already been through it, so I'll be relying on them for expert advice!"
