The broadcaster and her partner Jesse Wood announced the news of the baby's arrival on Twitter.

"Jesse and I are over-the-moon to announce the arrival of Rex Rayne Wood born on the 21.2.13," she said.

The star, who has been on maternity leave from her Radio 1 show since just before Christmas, added two heart symbols and wrote "beyond in love".
