The changes were “bittersweet”
Television presenter Emma Vardy, recognised for her work on BBC Breakfast, has opened up about some “bittersweet” changes.
The BBC favourite, who previously spoke about a small house fire in December, revealed towards the end of last year that she was expecting baby number two.
Back in 2023, Emma and her other half celebrated the arrival of their little boy Jago Fionn, with the broadcaster revealing they were ‘smitten and so in love’ at the time.
With the family set to expand later this year, Emma has confessed to feeling pangs of “guilt” about her son.
The 44-year-old shared a collection of snaps showing her and Jago from throughout the year, including one adorable image of the pair sporting coordinating Christmas pyjamas, according to the Express, reports the Mirror.

Her caption read: “Starting off 2026 with the bittersweet feeling that 2025 was the last year that this little man will be our only one! !”.
“Very excited for a new little love in our lives, but also got that strange guilt knowing it’s all about to change for him.
“We’ve done so much in his two years on this planet and travelled a long way together. From Belfast, to LA, to Manchester.
“Now a big new chapter ahead. Happy New Year, everyone, and to all the 2026 mamas-to-be!”
Her touching message swiftly attracted replies, with countless followers offering support and encouragement. One person expressed: “I felt exactly the same as you when I was expecting my second but you will adapt and spread your love between them. Exciting times ahead for you all.”
Another added their well wishes: “Happy New Year, Emma. I’m sure you’ll embrace all your new challenges with a smile.”
A third individual commented: “Happy new year, little bears will be besties, new challenges but fun exciting times.”
