Emma Vardy of BBC Breakfast has some great ‘breaking news’ to offer after giving birth to her baby.
The presenter revealed the name of her gorgeous son in an Instagram photo, writing how’smitten’ she is with him.
Uploading a picture of her holding her baby from her hospital bed, Emma, 42, wrote in her caption: ‘Presenting my best breaking news ever ❤️.
‘Baby boy Jago Fionn is here. At just a few hours old, playing a little camera shy.
‘Huge thanks to the dedicated & talented midwives & doctors at Belfast’s Royal Victoria Hospital, for looking after us so well 🙏 Smitten & so in love 😍.’
The TV star has received a rush of congratulatory messages, with one person commenting underneath the photo: ‘Wow 😮! Huge congratulations to you all.’
‘Congratulations! Jago Fionn, what a beautiful name,’ another said, while someone else added: ‘Congratulations to all the family.’
Emma stated earlier this month that she was beginning on a ‘new chapter’ as she began her maternity leave.
She posted a picture of herself sitting on top of two washing machines while holding up clothes on X (previously Twitter).
‘Well that’s me off on mat leave!! Resigned to an eternity of housewife chores & dirty laundry. Career girl out,’ she wrote.
‘(And if u believe that you’ll believe anything 😜) Celebrated the start of this new chapter with cocktails at this perfectly disguised speakeasy!! 🧼 #TheWashhouse.’

The presenter had been stepping in on BBC Breakfast for Nina Warhurst, who is also on maternity leave following the birth of her third child in July.
Emma made her BBC Breakfast début in July after serving as the BBC News Ireland Correspondent.
Writing on X at the time, she said: ‘Good morning from Manchester!! Granted a rare release from Northern Ireland to bring you some business news on @BBCBreakfast.
‘@jonkay01 waving from this side of the Irish Sea border. Back soon…’
Jon then wrote in response: ‘Welcome to the #BBCBreakfast gang @EmmaVardyTV.’

In June this year, Emma shared a sweet post on Instagram after a sun-filled trip to the beach with her other half Aaron Adams, writing in the caption: ‘Made sure we got a few summer surf trips in before 2 become 3 🤰.’
After tying the knot last year, the BBC News star celebrated their six-month wedding anniversary in September with a post that read: ‘It’s been six months!! 💍 Six months of so much fun and happiness with you by my side, the one who always lift me up!! 💜(swipe)🤍xx.’
BBC Breakfast airs every day from 6am on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
