Gemma had been sharing updates on her growing bump in recent months, writing in May alongside an image looking down at her bump as her silhouette could be seen in front of a window: ‘What an extraordinary time. Making, growing, connecting.’

The radio star, who began her career at the likes of Channel 4 Radio and Kiss FM, joined BBC Radio 1Xtra in November 2008 as the co-host of the weekday Breakfast show with Trevor Nelson.

In 2011 she went on to host her own weekday afternoon show, two years after she began fronting coverage of Glastonbury.
