According to The Sun, Steph has told her family and friends that she and her girlfriend will welcome their baby in November.

The broadcaster has been working on a number of TV projects recently, including Shop Well For Less, which she hosts with The One Show's Alex Jones.

She is now working on a new BBC One prime-time series, Easy Ways To Live Well, alongside Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, which will see her look at different ways to stay healthy during the different trimesters of pregnancy.

Steph recently said that she thinks the BBC has a 'class pay gap' and that the corporation concentrates too much on "ethnic diversity" over class diversity.

"Throughout my career I've had to argue about [pay]," she said. "It's not as simple as a gender issue, it's partly down to class.

"There are a lot of women who do a similar job to me who are paid a hell of a lot more... who are a lot posher than me."
