As the Oti Mabuse's Breakfast Show came to an end, the 33-year-old decided to make the sweet announcement.
Touchingly, she was joined by her husband, Marius Lepure, who had been in the studio this morning (August 26).
Prior to sharing their big news, the dancer had even been teaching guests Marisha Wallace and Chizzy Akudolu a few moves - with the group unaware of what was about to happen.
Just as the credits were about to roll though, Oti cheekily turned towards the guests and said: "Speaking of things that you didn't know at home, we have a little something for all of you, we've been holding...some good news."
To which, an elated Marius replied: "Very good news, yeah."
Oti then shouted: "We're having a baby!"
Unsurprisingly, everyone in the studio erupted into applause as the excited parents-to-be laughed.
In fact, some of the guests even broke into floods of tears after hearing the sweet news.
The couple are also clearly very excited to meet their first child, with the former Strictly judge then sharing a sweet Instagram post about the news.
After the touching update, she shared the first photo of her beautiful baby bump.
Her husband was close by, as he leant in for a kiss in the adorable photo - with couple looking more loved up than ever.
In the caption, Oti wrote: "Our 'yes' year is getting better and better and so is our little family.
"We feel finally ready and excited to share our wonderful news.
"This is new for us scarier than swimming with sharks, jumping off cliffs or even swinging from bridges but the best news we could have ever ask for.
Continuing, she added: "We love our little bundle of joy so much already… and can’t wait to see what our future will now look like as family of 3 plus [their dog] Leo."
The Dancing on Ice judge also revealed that she will be very busy over the Christmas period, with her little one set to arrive before the big day.
She wrote: "It’s been a beautiful journey so far with close friends and family and nearly over but we have learnt a lot a long the way…. Christmas is about to get even louder..."
Congratulations Oti and Marius!
