Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal reveals she's expecting a baby seven months after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage

Great British Bake Off star Ruby Bhogal, 36, has announced she is pregnant, seven months after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage.

Sharing photos of her husband James cradling her growing bump, the TV star, who was a finalist on Bake Off in 2018, told her followers that 'this last year has been crazy.'

'We got married. I then got an eye infection. I then got E. coli. I then projectile vomited over the side of a boat. I then sprained my ankle. I then got hit in the eyeball with a tennis ball (lol),' she wrote. 

'I then fell pregnant. I then had a missed miscarriage. I then lost myself. We then took in a little pup looking for a home. And immediately after, we finally found the rainbow we've been hoping for.'

'Feeling so lucky, grateful and blessed for the privilege (although could have done without the intense debilitating nausea I had for 3 months ). Baby Stewart coming December 2026'.

In January Ruby revealed she had suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage just months into her pregnancy.   

An emotional Ruby told her followers that she and her husband James had learned that she was pregnant with their first child during their second honeymoon in Mexico last November but had lost the baby before Christmas.

She said: 'This isn't the video we were hoping to be sharing with you today. I was hoping to be sharing a video with you all telling you how excited I was because James and I found out we were pregnant when we went away to Mexico at the end of last year. 

'And we were thrilled and elated. James has been so broody for years and it's always been me who's been pushing the brakes on everything'.

'But unfortunately, I had a missed miscarriage just before Christmas and I know I don't tend to share anything too deep and personal over here and I like to keep things quite light, sassy and very cake heavy. 

'But in truth, I didn't know how to come back on here and just start posting recipes and content like everything was ok. 

She continued: 'I've spent the last three weeks actively seeking out a community of people going through the same thing, listening to a shared grief. Being in awe of people showing such strength and courage at a time which truly just destabilises you to your very core. 

'And whilst I'm hoping this makes someone else feel less alone, I guess I'm also hoping that it does the same for me too. 

'I'm hoping one day it gives me some sort of clarity on how to move forward and how to accept this grief, because right now I feel quite heartbroken and really lost, teamed with lots of endless questions about why?  

The TV personality revealed that she wanted to share the sad news as she hoped that it would be able to help her come to terms with the grief as well as to help others who might be experiencing the same loss.

Ruby only revealed that she had secretly wed long-term partner BBC presenter James Stewart in a lavish ceremony last summer, a few months ago.  

He is best known for being a regular on Morning Live as well as his stints on Blue Peter and CBBC. 

The couple’s start to married life however didn’t go to plan after Ruby revealed that she got e.coli, contracted Covid and sprained her ankle during their first honeymoon away.

Ruby's happy news comes just weeks after Junior Bake Off host Ravneet Gill  revealed that she's pregnant with her second baby - just months after returning to screens.

The presenter, 35, shared the happy news on her Instagram as she wore her chef's whites.

As she revealed her baby bump she penned in the caption of her post: 'This wasn't on the prep list… but here we are. yes chef, I'm pregnant.'

She was flooded with messages of congratulations under her post including from fellow Bake Off star Ruby.

The star fronts Junior Bake Off alongside fellow judge Liam Charles and took over from Prue Leith on the children's version of the Channel 4 show. Harry Hill presents.

Ravneet married her chef partner Mattie Taiano in 2022 and they welcomed their first child in 2023.
