RADIO 1 star Katie Thistleton has given birth to her first child- and revealed his gorgeous name.
The 35-year-old – who shocked fans last year when she revealed she was pregnant live on air – shared the first pictures of her baby boy after welcoming him earlier this month.



Katie shared a series of snaps alongside her husband Alex and wrote: "Reuben Alexander Harris was born on the 6th March and he is THE CUTEST THING EVER.
"The love I feel for my incredible husband and this little tiny person we've made is almost too much for me to bear.
"I feel complete! And so grateful for our family and friends. And so in awe of/want to give a big hug to all the parents I know. And SO impressed with obstetricians and paediatricians and midwives."
The star continued: "I will never be able to put into words the feeling I felt when I first saw him. We are loving our sweet little new life together as a family of 3 and feeling so very blessed.
"Ps. Reuben means 'behold, a son' and he was born to the Beatles 'here comes the sun' obsessed."
Katie's famous pals rushed to comment on it, with Jordan North commenting: "He's a little beaut, Can't wait to meet him! Sending all my love, so so happy for you both."
Clara Amfo wrote: "Congratulations! I hope he arrived to arrived to Lauryn's voice! Xx."
And Will Manning added: "The biggest congratulations."
Last year, Katie shared her news on air with Mollie King and Matt Edmondson.
She said: "I've got a question for you guys and that is: What is the last message that you were sent on WhatsApp.
"So if you could all open your WhatsApps, please."
The pair then looked at their phones before expressing their delight and shouting out with joy.
Katie said: "I've just sent Matt and Mollie a scan photo and a message saying me and Alex are having a baby.I was so scared that that would go wrong, like the WiFi wouldn't send it."
She currently co-hosts Radio 1's Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie, and before this Katie was host of Life Hacks and The Official Chart: First Look with Vick Hope.
In 2023, Katie revealed she'd embarked on a new career, alongside her Radio 1 duties.

Katie revealed with her followers on X, formerly Twitter, that she'd qualified as a counsellor.
Katie revealed she had finished her counselling training course saying: "Hanging up my NHS pass today (for the second time in my career actually) after a year of seeing patients as a trainee counsellor and 3 years of studying, and last week I found out I've passed!
"I started this process in the pandemic 2020 after years of thinking about it as I do so much telly/radio/hosting work in the mental health world and I wanted to have a bit more knowledge."
However, she confirmed she wouldn't be leaving radio or TV, adding: "I still want to be a radio presenter forever but I've loved it."It's been blooming hard work fitting it in with my hectic work life but I've learnt so much from my wonderful clients and colleagues and classmates and it's been so great for my own mind (apart from the stress). I felt quite emotional looking at the list of all my clients earlier."
