Sam previously hosted BBC One’s Morning Live the day before giving birth.

When did Sam announce her pregnancy?

The presenter announced her pregnancy news in October last year, only seven months after welcoming daughter Molly.

Sam gave birth to Molly in March 2021, but before then suffered a miscarriage at 10 weeks in 2020.

She told OK! magazine at the time: “We were shocked but we’re so excited!

“But because of previous experiences, I never like to get too excited until we’ve had our 12-week scan.”

Sam and husband Tom said it was a “surprise”, but didn’t “stop it happening”.

Speaking about baby daughter Molly, the star added: “She has no idea what’s coming, she’s too young to understand! But she will be an amazing big sister.”
