IRELAND AM star Eric Roberts is he’s expecting first child with his wife as he shared an “amazing” video.
The Donegal native, who often appears on the hit morning show, got married to his wife Niamh last year.
Eric took to Instagram last night to announce the exciting news to his fans.
The funnyman shared a video of him twirling Niamh while she held ultrasound pictures in her hand.
Eric dressed for the special occasion wearing a blue suit and white shirt.
While Niamh stunned in a pink frilly dress and white sandal heels.
The couple looked happier than ever as they huddled in close for a kiss at the end of the clip.
The popular presenter captioned his post: “I knew all these dad jokes would come in handy one day.”
Eric’s friends and fans were all thrilled with his announcement and flocked to the comment section with supportive messages.
Former Love Islander Greg O Shea wrote: “Amazing news. So happy for you brother. That kid is gonna be one happy baby!!”
Today FM star Dave Moore said: “Amazing news! Congrats to all three of you!”
Dancing With The Stars pro Laura Nolan commented: “Congratulations guys, brilliant news.”
The Six O’Clock Show Host Katja Mia added: “Such gorgeous news! Congratulations you two.”
Last week Eric replaced Ireland AM star Deric Hartigan on air.
HOST SHAKE-UP
The celebrity weatherman joined Katja Mia on the Six O’Clock Show last Monday and is hosting the hit evening chat show for two weeks.
This means that Deric has taken a break from his Ireland AM segments.
Alan Hughes introduced Eric to viewers on last Monday’s show saying: “Now Deric’s away this week so we called up a familiar face to lend a hand.”
Eric, who was reporting live from Sport Ireland Campus in Blanchardstown, said: “Deric is off this week, I’m stepping in.
“I told him last year, when he interviewed me in Donegal, that I’d be taking his job someday and here we are.
“I’ve big shoes to fill but I’m excited for the challenge.”
