The One Show presenter Lindsey Russell is expecting her first child with husband Fred Haig, the BBC star announced on Instagram. Russell, 35, revealed the news in a post Sunday, sharing a clip of a photo booth session with her husband where they held up their ultrasound scan.
Text appearing in the video stated, "Our first photobooth as a three," signaling their upcoming parenthood. Russell covered her baby bump in a black T-shirt in the clip.
Fellow celebrities offered congratulations in the comments section of Russell's post. Amanda Holden described the news as "incredible," while Vogue Williams called it "so lovely," and Ashley Roberts exclaimed, "Yessssss!!!!!"
Russell and Haig married in Las Vegas last summer in a surprise ceremony. Russell shared photos from their wedding day on social media, describing the event as a "kitsch" affair at a Sin City chapel, followed by their first meal as a married couple at a local In-N-Out burger bar.
She wore a white 80s-style dress with large sleeves and kitten stiletto heels for the ceremony. Haig, an actor, currently stars as Ernst Ludwig in a West End production of "Cabaret."
Russell gained initial fame as a presenter on the children's show Blue Peter, joining the program in 2013 after winning a BBC competition. She was the 36th presenter to hold the role on the long-running series. Currently, she hosts the early breakfast show on Heart radio.
