No offence, I had Jo Whiley as being a bit too old to be having babies now!

Congratulations to her though.

I'm quite gutted, she's irreplaceable. Looks like Annie Mac or Sara Cox as they'll both be free come September.

It won't be the same without the Christmas stories she puts on each year.

RADIO 1 DJ JO WHILEY is pregnant with her fourth child.

The gravely-voiced star announced her 'unexpected' news live on air during her breakfast show this morning.

Jo - mum to INDIA, JUDE and CASSIUS with husband Steve Morton - said: “It was very unexpected but it’s very exciting.

"We don’t know the sex. When we were in the doctors, they asked if we wanted to find out the sex and we had a big argument about it in the middle of the surgery!

“I am a baby machine - there is an army of children in our family! There are loads of people at Radio 1 who are pregnant now – me, Edith Bowman, Sara Cox – Radio 1 is a very fertile place at the moment!

"Every day is fat day for me at the moment - I can't stop eating food!"

After the 42-year-old presenter made the announcement, Jo’s fellow DJ CHRIS MOYLES joked he was the father of the child and had already come up with a unique name for the unborn tot.

He said: “Well, you know how Victoria and David Beckham called their son Brooklyn because that is where he was conceived?

"Well I think we should name ours after where it was conceived too. So I thought ‘stationery cupboard’!”

Congratulations to Jo... but spare a thought for the poor management team at R1.

3 of their major female presenters pregnant in the same year! Who on earth will cover? all the male presenters will have to be working double shifts!

And to add into the mix, does anyone seriously think Sara will want to cover a daytime show and work 5 days instead of her usual 2 when she returns in september?

Surely it's better than working weekends?

I think Sara Cox will be good in the Whiley slot if thats what R1 decide. Surely her daughter will be school come september? Sara is an excellent Presenter. They might even get some new presenters in, you never know?

    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
