This Morning guest doctor Dr Rupy Aujla has revealed he is expecting his first child with partner Rochelle.
The 39-year-old medic, who also hosted Channel 4’s Cook Clever Waste Less with Dame Prue Leith, announced he was becoming a dad on Instagram.
On the social media site, Dr Rupy shared a picture of himself holding onto dog Nutmeg alongside Rochelle with her blossoming baby bump.
He captioned the post: ‘We’re expecting 👶🏽!
‘I’m super happy to let you know that soon there will be a baby in the Doctor’s Kitchen!
‘I wanted to make a joke about how there’s a wholegrain, seeded, gluten free, high fibre bun in the oven. But Rochelle wouldn’t let me.
‘I guess I’m going to have to start learning how to create kid-friendly recipes?
‘Thank you all so much for your best wishes and blessings!’
He signed off the post: ‘Much love Rupy, Rochelle and Nutmeg 🐶.’
Dr Rupy’s 396K followers and foodie friends flocked to the comment section to congratulate the couple on expanding their family.
