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 must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
