PREGNANT Morning Live star Michelle Ackerley has revealed the gender of her unborn baby. The TV host, 40, announced her pregnancy live on air last month when she was presenting alongside Gethin Jones. Sharing more details about her pregnancy, Michelle told Hello!: "I'm expecting a little girl in October and it feels very special. "When I found out I was pregnant, I told my husband, and he said this is a baby miracle." Michelle married husband Ben Ryan, 53, last summer. She previously praised her hubby, who is performance director at Premier League side Brentford FC, for his calm approach to becoming a first time dad. "He has been so chilled," said Michelle. "The thing is, I'm not really sleeping well at the moment so I've been waking up in the middle of the night at 3am and I've been taking it upon myself to wake Ben up and say this is what we are going to have to get used to!" The One Show and World's Strongest Man presenter has also been open about her fertility woes and struggles with endometriosis. The chronic condition sees tissues similar to the lining of the womb grow on the outside of it causing inflammation and pain. She said: "I wanted to share though as my journey with endometriosis and infertility is something I finally felt confident to start speaking about more openly last year - realising how many other women were going through similar experiences. "Feeling part of a community - especially when it comes to women’s health can really make a difference. "Even at the very start of this year I was gearing up for yet another endo procedure and trying to come to terms with the mental & physical impact they can have. "It has been quite the emotional rollercoaster. "The news of falling pregnant really came as a massive surprise to both of us. We still can’t quite believe it. "And so in October, the start of a new chapter begins for @benryan7s and I, albeit with nervous and cautious excitement." Ben and Michelle - who have a ten year age gap - had been dating for years before they got engaged in 2023. Former rugby star Ben used to coach the Fiji National rugby team - helping them scoop a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
