Lucy Kennedy has admitted that she felt “embarrassed” when she found that she was expecting at the age of 39.
The presenter is due to give birth to baby number three in December – and is already mum to Jack, 6, and Holly, 4.
“I had Jack at 33, Holly at 35 and when I went into my consultant at 39 I said, ‘Oh my God, I’m so embarrassed, am I the oldest person here by far?'” she said.

Although Lucy was initially embarrassed, her doctor assured her that she’s at a totally normal age to have another baby.
“And he laughed and said, ‘Don’t be so ridiculous. The average person having a baby now is 41,'” she told the Irish Mirror.
“I had an emergency C-section with Jack because he was breech but Holly was natural, an 18-hour job.
“I’m hoping it will be natural again but the baby is breech. I’ve had both births and they’re both equally difficult.”

Lucy also revealed that she’s always planned on having three babies – and she’s even held onto some old baby clothes to prepare for the new arrival.
“I always had three in my head because I’m one of three,” the Seven O’Clock Show host admitted.
“I remember being in the Coombe and we just had Holly and she was in my hands and I turned around to my husband and said, ‘I’ll have to keep these nighties for number three.’
“I don’t know what I’m having and it’s killing me. I’m struggling with this one – I feel disorganised not knowing.”
