Fearne Cotton surprised fans with two big announcements this afternoon.

The radio DJ revealed that she is expecting baby number two with her husband Jesse Wood.

Cotton, 33 – who has two-year-old son Rex – took to her website to announce the exciting news.

In a post titled "Here's to family and new adventures" she wrote: “Jesse and I are very happy to announce we are having another baby. I feel extremely blessed and happy that Rex will be a big brother, and we get to welcome another Wood into the world.”

She then announced that she is leaving Radio One after 10 years in order to embark on a “new chapter”.

“It has also been a time of big decisions and one I want to share with you now," she said. "After much time and careful thought I have decided to leave Radio 1 after ten amazing years.

“I have had the most incredible decade broadcasting on Radio 1, meeting wonderful people, helping break artists and watching live music from the world’s best.”

Cotton - who presents the Live Lounge - paid tribute to the station, writing: "I would like to thank Radio 1 for being such a great home and most of all to the listeners who have been on this journey with me. It’s such a kick to know you heard a band on my show first, or that the songs I’ve played have helped you through the day, so thank you."
