Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Arnold made a live on-air baby announcement on Thursday, July 9, congratulating Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock on her third pregnancy.
Live Announcement on GMB
Appearing alongside Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, Richard Arnold shared the news during the entertainment segment of the ITV breakfast show. The announcement followed updates about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock disclosed her pregnancy hours earlier via a social media video, which initially appeared to tease new music. In the clip, she said: "As one chapter ends, another begins," while showing off her growing baby bump in a recording studio.
Family Life and Privacy
The singer, married to footballer Andre Gray since 2023, already shares twin daughters born in 2021. The couple has chosen to keep their children out of the public eye, not publishing any photographs or revealing their names.
Leigh-Anne previously explained her decision, stating: "I remember when they were born, I was going through this online hate thing and really seeing the toxicity of social media. I mean, I probably would've still decided to not show their faces anyway, but that just kind of confirmed it for me. I want them to be able to make that decision." She added: "I want them to be able to [choose] if they want to be famous or not, because once they're out there, they're out there and I think that's such a big thing."
Support from Friends and Fans
Leigh-Anne received an outpouring of support following her announcement. Fellow Little Mix star Perrie Edwards shared a series of emojis, while Jade Thirlwall wrote: "Love you and your beautiful family." Fleur East commented: "Ahhhh! Amazing! Congratulations," and Clara Amfo added: "Congratulations!"
Richard Arnold noted on air that fans observed Leigh-Anne appeared to be in early pregnancy during filming for The Celebrity Traitors, where she took on gruelling challenges. He concluded: "Congratulations all around ending today."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
