The studio then erupted into applause, with overjoyed faces seen all around.
Matt then spoke of Sophie’s bump, saying: “You can just about see it.”
Sophie smiled and said: “Just about!”
The chef was then asked if she had felt the baby kick yet and said: “First little punch yesterday, so I’ll see if they’ll send you a punch later.”
Sophie, who is a chef, often appears on the show to showcase her simple recipes.
The London-based chef announced her pregnancy news on Instagram before today’s show.
She shared a snap four days ago as she posed on a mountain top, surrounded by trees and greenery.
Wearing some black cycling shorts and a grey t-shirt, Sophie beamed and grinned as she cradled her blossoming bump.
In the caption she penned: “Sausage Pasta Wyburd-Kumar, growing steadily in my tummy and landing with us this autumn!!”
Sophie continued: “P.S. writing recipes for a living when for 3 months all you want to eat is spinach and ricotta tortellini is no joke, but the little person in there will be very much worth it I’m sure.”
Fans and friends were quick to flood Sophie with sweet messages in the comments section.
Fellow chef Alfie Steiner said: “Oh em geeee contractions !!!! They are going to be eating THE best food.”
“The best news!!! Congratulations lovely,” said an influencer.
Another person then penned: “You be growing ur own lil tortellini in there!!! congrats MAMAAAAAAA.”
While a fourth said: “Congratulations – this baby is gonna get the best weaning.”
And a fifth wrote: “Cuteeeestttt bump.”
