Bargain Hunt star Natasha Raskin Sharp has announced that she has given birth to her first child with husband Joe Sharp.

The auctioneer had managed to keep her pregnancy a secret and revealed the news by posting a sweet photo of a newborn’s hand clasped around her fingers on social media.

She also used the post to share that she will be taking some time off – and presenter Ravi Sagoo will be filling in on her weekly show on BBC Radio Scotland.

Sharp captioned the post: "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.

"In the meantime, there’ll be lots of new #bbcbargainhunt and @antiqueroadtrip action (filmed when baby was a mere bump). Back soon! X."

Sharp’s comment section was flooded with well wishes, including from Doctor Who actress Ingrid Oliver, who commented, "Huge congratulations! Xxx."

Over on X, formerly Twitter, the Bargain Hunt account shared the news and said, "Sending our love and best wishes to @natasharadio and family on their little bundle of joy", while fellow antiques expert Raj Bisram wrote, "Congratulations to you both fantastic news sending lots of love Raj xx."

As well as featuring on Bargain Hunt, Sharp is also a regular expert on Antiques Road Trip and its celebrity version.

The latest series, which aired at the end of last year, saw pairs of famous faces take to the road with experts in search of interesting antiques.

This included Love Island winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, and Strictly professional Amy Dowden and former contestant Sara Davies, while fellow Strictly star Dianne Buswell joined forces with presenter Owain Wyn Evans.

Davies said on taking part: "I’d always heard what an incredible adventure Antiques Road Trip is. Being with Amy made it even more special for me, and to be able to spend that time together and share the experience was just brilliant."

Bargain Hunt airs weekdays at 12.15pm on BBC One.
