'We'll share more details over the coming months but for now we're enjoying our new life as a family of four.'

Keeley and Johnny, who tied the knot in 2018, are already proud parents to another daughter Scout, who they welcomed in 2020. 

Keeley, who joined the BBC in 2005, reports the weather, as well as other segments for BBC Look North as well as Countryfile and BBC Radio Humberside.

In January 2023, Keeley shared that she tragically had a miscarriage and admitted to feeling 'shame' as she assured others that they aren't 'alone'.

The weather presenter shared a photograph of a bouquet of white flowers sitting alongside a single candle alongside a lengthy statement where she detailed her heartbreaking news.

Keeley said she had experienced 'horrid morning sickness' before suffering a miscarriage around the time of her 12-week scan, describing it as a 'sad and worrying time'.

She penned: '*TRIGGER WARNING* baby loss. I returned to work last week but you might not have seen me around for a while, the truth is I've been off with horrid morning sickness.

'Unfortunately the day before our 12 week scan I started to show signs of a miscarriage. At the scan there was no heartbeat.

'A few days later I ended up back in hospital because of heavy blood loss. It's been a sad and worrying time.

'It's awful to think that so many people go through this but I have found comfort in knowing that miscarriages aren't uncommon.

'Talking to other women/friends who've been through a similar experience has really helped.'

Keeley said she didn't know how physically 'traumatic' a miscarriage can be and admitted she felt 'shame' afterwards as she assured other women they aren't alone.

She continued: 'It still feels like a subject that lots of us don't know enough about. I had no idea, for example, about how traumatic the physical side of a miscarriage can be.

'One of the many emotions I've felt is shame. I can't help wondering if this is one of the reasons it's not more widely talked about.

'So I'm just posting this as one more person adding to the dialogue. Maybe it will help someone in a tiny way to know they aren't alone in their experience.

'I also post lots of positive things about my life on here and wanted to be genuine, because sometimes life can be a bit rubbish too.

'If you have had a miscarriage and would like advice or feel you need to speak to someone @tommys and @cradle_charity are helpful.

'Thank you to our friends, family and colleagues who have been so kind to us over the past few weeks.'
