BBC Weather Presenter Welcomes "Miracle" Baby After Miscarriage
Keeley Donovan, 43, and her husband Johnny I'Anson announce the birth of their second daughter, Remi, three years after a previous loss.
BBC weather presenter Keeley Donovan, 43, has announced the birth of her second child, a daughter named Remi. This arrival comes three years after Donovan experienced a miscarriage.
Donovan, who works for BBC Look North, shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, describing Remi as their "little miracle." The presenter and her husband, Johnny I'Anson, are already parents to daughter Scout, born in 2020.
In January 2023, Donovan publicly shared her experience of a miscarriage, which occurred around her 12-week scan. She described the period as "sad and worrying" and spoke of feeling "shame" afterwards, aiming to destigmatize the conversation around baby loss. She noted the physical trauma involved and expressed a desire for greater openness on the subject, encouraging others who have experienced similar losses to know they are not alone.
Donovan joined the BBC in 2005 and also contributes to segments on Countryfile and BBC Radio Humberside.
