Formula One presenter Natalie Pinkham is expecting a baby daughter in June - after a difficult pregnancy in which she miscarried the girl's twin.

The TV favourite, 37, was expecting twins but lost one during the early stages of pregnancy.

She told Hello! magazine: "The first two months were a real rollercoaster. We had this strange phase of not knowing if there would be two babies or one or none."

But she and her businessman husband Owain Walbyoff , 32, were told by doctors that only one of the babies would make it.

"It was a really emotional time," she said.

Pinkham revealed that her mother and great-grandmother were also twins whose siblings did not survive.

She added: "It's nature's way and it is sad. My dad put it in a lovely way and said: 'One has made way for the other."'

The pregnancy comes soon after the birth of the couple's first son, Wilf, who is now 11 months old.

She said: "I can't believe that so soon after having Wilf I am pregnant again. I feel so lucky and blessed.

"I always wanted a little brother or sister for Wilf, but didn't expect to get pregnant so quickly. I only did the pregnancy test to rule it out because I honestly thought ... this can't be why I'm feeling a bit funny.

"When I saw it was positive, I nearly fell off my chair!"

Looking forward to the birth of her daughter, she said: "I am just loving being a mum. This last year has been the best of my life, Now we've got another exciting year to come. I couldn't be happier.'
