FIVEAA Afternoons host Stacey Lee has announced she’s pregnant, while on air with Breakfast with David and Will.
Donning a shirt with the slogan “In my pregnant era”, the presenter and former TV newsreader was beaming as she revealed the news to listeners.
Lee said she and her husband Ben Millar were blown away by the news.
“It’s been a two-year journey for us, we were really really over the moon when we got the news,” she said.
“I’m almost half way, so I’m 18 weeks and I’m feeling really good.
“Thankfully, touch wood, I haven’t had any morning sickness at this stage.”
The experienced journalist revealed she is due at the end of June and will be off the airwaves until the start of next year.
She said the couple wanted to keep the gender a surprise.
“You don’t get many surprises in life, I’m not really a surprise person, you might not know this about me, I can be quite controlling, so I think for me it’s nice to relinquish that and keep it a surprise,” she said.
Her colleagues, Will Goodings and David Penberthy, were quick to congratulate the couple.
“It’s the best thing you’ll do in your whole life. Better than any other thing, don’t you reckon Will?,” Penberthy said.
“Without a doubt, it’s the best news by far, it’s not even funny … It’s the most exciting news in the world,” Goodings added.
The pair joked that Lee could name the child with the help of listeners.
“How does Ben feel that you are going to name the child with a talkback segment, the winner will get a Wallis cinema pass,” Goodings said.
“What if we name it Wallis if it’s a boy?” Lee quipped.
“Don’t tell the people in sales, they’ll have the pitch out by 9.05am,” Goodings said.
It’s not known who will step into Lee’s afternoon role while she is on maternity leave.
