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.
