Yay! Maybe now she'll retire and disappear.

Forever.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Well, announced it before the page on her site with it on went down anyways... (see Rocks thread). I was hoping the good news would be Sara Cox being exiled back to her home planet at last.

[Jono]

One is hoping that Sara Cox makes a welcome return to daytime.

[Nik B.]

Never gonna happen. She's too old. Which is a crying shame. It'll probs be Gemma cairney, jameela Jamil, or some other rodent they pull off the streets of Camden in a desperate bid to draw in a young (and let's face it, thicko) audience.

Heh. I've got a lot of pent up rage at R1 at the moment.

Maybe Sara's last stint on Radio 1 before they get rid of her?...then again, they may want someone 'young' and 'fresh'.

Gemma Cairney maybe, as she was doing 5 days on 1xtra before she moved to Radio 1. (Think I'd rather Jameela Jamil than Gemma :* - but thats not likely to happen.)

Congrats to the cotton. God, this will so change her life. Will she return to r1? how will moyles react tomorrow? she is always so immaculate, and babies make such a mess. she could always get a nanny though.

[Tom.]

OOOOH Laura Whitmore could cover. (I thought I'd get that in, before some other tit does)

It'll probably be the vacuous Gemma Cairney, but I'd hope for Sara Cox.

- In all seriousness though, congratulations to Fearne.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I hope Fearne really focuses on the wonderful, joyous things about having children... like when they grow up and leave home.

[GoOnPigs]

awwwww that is such good news! Congrats to her.

Hope she'll still do the new series of celebrity juice. No doubt Keith Lemon will be full of jokes towards her!

[James R]

Maybe she will turn up for work wearing 1 of these

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Just saw a certain Ms Sayers tweet

"yaaaay!! Congratu-Flippin-lations. I knew Jesse had it in him. Good work xxxx"

Interesting wording there?

HOW did she 'know he had it in him'? :hahaha:

I also rather enjoyed this from comedian Tiernan Douieb

Fearne Cotton is pregnant. In a few months we will see a little Cotton bud.

[DarkAngelMJH]

Congrats to Fearne, wonderful news for her. I wouldn't be surprised if Gemma Cairney covers.

[oli]

Congratulations to Fearne, I'm thinking (hoping) it will be Coxy

[Harkinson]

Congrats Fearne.

I'd say we should be thankful to get rid of her for a few months but they'll probably replace her with someone awful..

BTW, Aled seemed rather put out this morning that Moyles appears to have known about the pregnancy for a few days?! It seems Dom has too.

Dave said on twitter that Dom thought she was

Did everybody hear Chris' hint at covering her show whilst she is on maternity leave? He mentioned it jokingly during the hand-over.
