Newlywed Theakston to become a dad
Tuesday 18 September 2007
Theakston, 36, met Siegle, manager of the private members' club Soho House, at the Oscars ceremony two years ago and proposed to her while on holiday in Paris in April.
The DJ and TV presenter, who counts model Erin O'Connor and 'Nip/Tuck' star Joely Richardson among his exes, revealed the news to listeners of his Heart 106.2 Breakfast show this morning while discussing the guests at his wedding.
He joked: "I can tell you there was a very special guest there but I can't tell you his name because he hasn't got one. I can't even tell you if it was a boy or a girl because myself and my new bride won't find out until April."
He then dedicated a song to the baby, saying: "This is for my new wife and my first child."
Guests at the wedding included DJ Chris Evans and his new bride Natasha Shishmanian, Little Britain star David Walliams, ex-footballer Ian Wright and presenter Richard Bacon.
Former 'Top of the Pops' presenter Theakston recently said his mother had been trying to persuade him to start a family.
He said at the time: "My mum started nagging me when I was 19, saying, 'Why aren't you married yet?' She wants to be a grandmother and I hope she doesn't have to wait too long."
Theakston has also been linked in the past to Amanda Holden and Natalie Appleton.

- The Apprentice
As Alan Sugar continues his search for his next business partner, the candidates are called to meet him on a rooftop overlooking the City of London, where countless financial deals are done on a daily basis. For one day only, the teams will be representing an online daily deals website that offers Londoners exclusive deals in hotel stays, beauty treatments, posh dinners and premium products. It's a test of the teams' negotiation skills; they must strike the right deal, get a good discount and deliver their offers to the website by close-of-business that evening. In the boardroom, there is a landslide victory, and the losers mount a desperate bid to stay in the running, but it seems that no one is safe from those fateful words, 'you're fired'.

Another week, another suspicious death to be explained. This time, a lovelorn professor is found dead a day after her internet dating video is posted on a subversive media blog. All the evidence points to suicide, but Lewis is convinced there's more to it than meets the eye. But when a second body turns up, a new problem arises - the officers' own lives are laid bare for the world to see on the internet, and it seems ancient college history may have something to do with the case.

- The Killing
Finally back in touch with Holder, Sarah reviews the case with him. They question why Rosie's backpack was dropped at the Larsen house two weeks after the murder. Was it the killer intending to torture the family, or was it a witness who felt remorse for not having come forward? Is it the same individual as the person with the Ogi Jun tattoo who was with Rosie on the Super 8 footage and who was also caught on the security camera at the Beau Soleil fire? Sarah and Holder stake out Janek's place and realise that Stan has apparently renewed his connection with the Polish mob. Still partially working outside the system, Sarah calls on a friend at the FBI to get more information about Janek and comes up with a new lead.

This second programme in the series about the history of football (the English kind!) examines life after independence as the FAI found itself with a mountain to climb to earn the right to call the national team 'Ireland'. The struggle was marked by the uneasy relationship between politics and sport, but the pain and heartbreak of failing to qualify for a major tournament was eased by a booming domestic league, which entered a golden era but would eventually see a decline as eyes turned towards the English game.
