The gorgeous high-necked dress tied with a chic ribbon around her growing bump and boasted elegant puffed sleeves.

Tina wore her tresses in soft waves while feline flicks of liner and rose gloss accentuated her pretty features.

The star looked radiant and happy as she counts down the final weeks of her pregnancy.   

Back in December, the journalist and broadcaster shared an Instagram photo of her baby bump, while revealing she was over five months pregnant.

Captioning the post, she wrote: ‘Some exciting news to share! Beyond thrilled to be welcoming a new addition to our family in Spring 2021. Thank you @bbcradio2 family for all your lovely messages this morning.’

While the presenter typically keeps her private life away from social media, her fiancé Kane occasionally features in sporadic posts – including Tina confirming the couple’s engagement via Instagram in January 2018.

After reading the news on the Radio 1 breakfast show for several years, Tina covered events such as the pre-election debate and fronted her first Panorama programme – about the Manchester bombing. 

She has since become a regular fixture on the BBC Breakfast sofa alongside the likes of Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty,  Louise Minchin and Jon Kay.   

Speaking in 2018, the presenter told Harper’s Bazaar she ‘worked ridiculously hard’ to get where she is after her parents told her she’d have to try even harder than her white contemporaries.

‘I was doing the news on BBC Three, finishing at midnight and then coming in to do breakfast, which comes back to what my parents said about having to work two or three times as hard,’ she explained.

Tina is the daughter of first-generation immigrant parents of Indian heritage, who themselves grew up in Nairobi and Tanzania.

She added that gender and class also play a part in the lack of diversity in the media, saying: ‘There’s no point having – I’m saying it as I’m saying to my friends – loads of brown privileged people in prominent roles.

‘That isn’t really representative. The further up I get in my career I realise there aren’t many people like me. I’m from a very working class background.’
