BBC presenter Sophie Raworth has given birth to her third child.
The boy — Sophie's first son with her estate agent husband Richard Winter — weighed a formidable 10lb 11oz and has yet to be named.
St Paul's-educated Sophie, 39 — once known as the Ice Maiden — returned to work within six months of the births of her daughters Ella, three, and Georgia, two.
She was replaced temporarily as the face of the BBC's lunchtime bulletin by rising star Kate Silverton, but is keen to return to the autocue soon.
Says a friend: "It was a wrench for Sophie leaving her babies and returning to work after previous stints of maternity leave. But she is determined to come back in the late summer."
A BBC spokesman confirmed Sophie is expected to resume her job on the One O'Clock News.
Congrulations to Sophie and Richard
