RTE presenter Angela Scanlon hints at birth of second child with cryptic Instagram post

RTE host Angela Scanlon has hinted at the birth of her second child as she took to Instagram to post a photo of a cake decorated with the words "Hello baby."

The TV presenter captioned the photo: "Still eating this. Mainly the butter icing with my bare claws."

Since posting the snap, many flooded Angela's comment section with congratulatory messages, including Imelda May, Clodagh McKenna and Rachel Allen.

Angela announced last year that she was expecting her second child with her husband Roy Horgan. The couple have been married since 2014 and are already parents to daughter Ruby who was born in 2018.

Angela revealed news of her pregnancy last October when she shared a picture holding her baby bump on social media, telling her followers that she was feeling lucky, excited and nervous.

Joining Amy Huberman on her Mamia and Me podcast in November, the broadcaster revealed that she would prefer to have a home birth for her second child due to her fear of hospitals.

She explained: "I'm hoping to do a home birth. I feel really excited. Apparently, somebody brings a bath. I haven't nailed down the details as of yet and Roy is a little worried about it.

"I didn't realise that I'm quite scared of hospitals for whatever reason. I've never spent very much time in hospitals so maybe that's why, or maybe I remember it from being a baby.

"Everything looked so medical, which was quite a scary thing. So if I'm at home it'll be more chilled."
