GB News presenters Patrick Christys and his wife Emily Carver have revealed the gender of their first child during a live broadcast.

On Thursday (August 21), the 33-year-old broadcaster surprised his wife on set with flowers and a card from the production team to mark her final day before maternity leave.

However, the late-night host had another surprise in store. He also brought on stage a white cake adorned with pink and blue icing, featuring the words ‘Boy or Girl’ on top.

The expectant mother then sliced into the elegantly decorated cake to unveil the gender of their bundle of joy, who is expected to arrive within weeks, reports the Express.

The auburn-haired presenter, 29, beamed as she lifted the cake slice to reveal blue sponge inside, whilst the team erupted in cheers and applause behind them.

News correspondent Mark White could be heard calling out in the background: “Not another young Patrick!” as colleagues laughed around them.

At that moment, Emily’s afternoon co-presenter Tom Harwood presented the couple with a gift wrapped in pink tissue paper, which turned out to be a tiny knitted baby hat featuring the GB News logo above the words ‘GB Baby’.

Before concluding her final programme, Emily admitted: “Thank you guys, I am going to miss you all”.

Tom responded warmly: “We’re going to miss you too, don’t stay away for too long and I hope you’re going to be coming back in whatever shape of form throughout the process.”

Fans quickly took to the comments section to congratulate the couple on their wonderful news.
