SIAN Welby has announced Kemi Rogers will be replacing her on Capital Radio as she heads on maternity leave.
The radio presenter and This Morning star is days away from giving birth to her first baby, and on today's Capital Breakfast show announced she'll be stepping down from Friday.
Telling co-stars Jordan North and Chris Stark she's left it to the last second to step away from the show, she joked on-air: "I have pushed it so close to the edge that I literally could go into labour during the show, I reckon. Like, I'm two weeks off!"
Jordan confirmed the team have a baby bag at the ready in case she goes into labour in the studio.
"I've had a genius idea, because obviously Capital's Kemi Rogers has been doing a phenomenal job with all the junkets. She's brilliant with all the celebs, and she's just one of the team. She's one of the girls. She's one of us.

"Kemi, I would love for you to hold the fort while I'm off. Would you like to do it?"
Kemi excitedly accepted, before joking she would be the "supply teacher" of Capital Breakfast.
In the official announcement stating Kemi will be taking her place, Sian said: “Kemi’s been absolutely brilliant stepping in as ‘junket queen’ for the past couple of weeks and I know she’ll be keeping the boys in check whilst I’m off on leave for the Summer!”
“I am absolutely buzzing to cover for Sian over the summer on Capital Breakfast; we are all so excited for her and her new bundle of joy!," said Kemi.
"The Capital Breakfast Show is such a laugh and I know I’m going to have the best time with Jordan and Chris.”
Sian announced her pregnancy in February on Capital Radio after keeping it secret for months.
Even her co-hosts seemed out of the know, with Sian admitting she was drinking mocktails at the Christmas party in December to hide it from everyone.
This is her first baby with radio producer Jake Beckett, who proposed last summer.
Since that point, she's been using her platform to get advice from celebrity mums - with pop star and mum-of-two Meghan Trainor even predicting she'll have a girl due to how she's carrying.
However, it's not all been glamour, and just two weeks ago Sian admitted she was forced to wee on the side of the road after being stuck in A3 traffic that tailed back four hours.
