Scarlette Douglas expecting first child with Kyle Murray

According to OK, the final image showed Murray kissing Douglas on the cheek while holding her baby bump. The caption, as reported by the publisher, read: “The exciting news is finally here. We’re over the moon to announce, we’re having a baby.”

It is a familiar social-media structure now — a little suspense, then the personal reveal — but this one sounds as if it kept the joke proportionate to the occasion. The device was there, yet the news did not get buried under it.

The announcement also carries some context Douglas had already made public. In a 2024 interview on Lorraine, cited by OK, she said she had frozen her eggs while thinking seriously about the possibility of having children later. “I never thought I’d be 37 and no man, no husband, no baby,” she said at the time. She described the decision as a backup, adding that she would “still of course love to have a child naturally but that might not be the case.”

That earlier candour is part of why this update lands cleanly. Celebrity pregnancy announcements are often polished into pure glow; Douglas had already talked in more practical terms about timing, fertility and trying to prepare for an uncertain future.

OK reports that congratulations followed from Oti Mabuse, Charlene Douglas and Fleur East after the post went up. Douglas is known to many viewers from A Place in the Sun, which she presented from 2015 to 2022, and she currently hosts Channel 4’s Can’t Sell, Must Sell, according to the same report.
