Radio 1’s Rickie Haywood-Williams announces girlfriend is pregnant days after co-star

Radio 1 DJ Rickie Haywood-Williams has shared the happy news that his girlfriend is pregnant.

His announcement comes just days after co-host Charlie Hedges revealed she was expecting live on the Greg James Breakfast Show.

The 41-year-old is already a dad to a 10-year-old daughter called Lola, so this will be baby number two for him.

Loved-up Rickie posted a photo of himself hugging his girlfriend as she cradled her growing bump while wearing a red silk dress.

He captioned the photo: “Baby is on the way!” followed by the hasthtag #lovemadeusdoit.

In another snap with co-presenters Charlie and Melvin Odoom in his Instagram stories, Rickie shared a scan photo of the baby with the words: “I’m going to be a new dad again”

Rickie’s big reveal comes just days after pal Charlie announced she was also having a baby – much to the surprise of radio host Greg James.

The 35-year-old DJ made the announcement during the 'Tell Me Something Good' segment of the show yesterday.

When Greg asked her to 'tell him something good', she quickly answered: “I’m having a baby.”

There was then a moment of stunned silence before Greg cut the music and said: “You... What are you talking about?”

Charlie repeated her happy news, but Greg still couldn’t quite believe it, asking her: “Are you joking?”

It finally seemed to sink in when Charlie asked if he wanted to see her belly and proceeded to stand up.

Greg then yelled: “Oh my god! What? Charlie! Oh my god! What amazing news!"

Taking to Twitter afterwards, Charlie wrote: "I am so incredibly grateful and excited to be sharing the most beautiful news with you all … I am going to be a new mummy very soon and Baby hedges would like to say hi to you all.

"To say we are over the moon is an understatement xxx"

Charlie’s pal Rickie kept his own baby news secret for another week - while making sure to congratulate her.

Sharing a snap of them together, he wrote on social media: “Congratulations to our little sister from another mister @charliehedgesdj, Lee and the rest of the family on the BABY NEWS. SO HAPPY FOR YOU.”

Charlie, Rickie and Melvin presented the KISS FM Breakfast Show for 10 years.

Then in 2018 the trio moved over to BBC to take over Charlie Sloth's mid-evening slot. Charlie also presents Saturday's Dance Anthems.
