Jeremy Vine co-host Storm Huntley introduced her newborn baby girl to viewers at home as she checked in with her team during Monday’s episode.
The presenter, 37, shared on Sunday that she’d welcomed her second child with her husband Kerr Okan in the early hours of Saturday morning, while sharing the newborn’s sweet name Sloan Blue.
And Storm looked in great spirits despite the lack of sleep as she sent a video message in to Channel 5 and promised to bring the new addition into the studio soon.
Introducing Sloan as the ‘newest recruit’ to the team she said: ‘She entered this world at 2.30 on Saturday morning, so a party animal, and, as Jeremy likes his facts, she was 6.3lbs and born on the 15th March.’
Fully submerged in the newborn bubble she continued: ‘It’s been wonderful. Otis got to meet his little sister and he’s been playing a blinder as a big brother. Loving his duties.
‘Boo, our dog, less happy we’ve brought yet another child home from the hospital. But she got used to Otis, so she’ll get used to this one too.

Turning to the side to show off her bump, Storm shared that she was ‘proud’ that she was able to keep her pregnancy a secret, adding that she started to show when she was just eight weeks along.
She also shared the news of her arrival on Instagram, continuing with the trend she used to announce her first pregnancy, paying homage to the famous phrase ‘bun in the oven.’
The star shared a snap alongside her husband Kerr and son Otis, where a roll could be seen baking, with the caption: ‘It’s happened again!’
Announcing her pregnancy during the show, Storm said: ‘It’s happened again. I’m having another baby! I am pregnant once more.’
She added: ‘So I am quite far along, well 14 weeks, normally you can say at 12 weeks, but I only had my scan yesterday.
‘That is little baby number two on its way, and second babies don’t mess about, they pop real quick.
‘I have been showing like nobody’s business to the point where eight weeks pregnant, my neighbour stopped me and said, is Otis getting a little brother or a little sister?’
Jeremy said that he would ‘never ask’ Storm if she was expecting, and she quipped: ‘You might never ask it but you might think it!’
As she showed off her growing bump, Storm added: ‘I’ve had to come out and be honest with anyone because I can’t get dresses to fit me anymore!’
She added that she hasn’t found out whether she is having a boy or a girl, but her husband has, and they’re planning to celebrate with a gender reveal.
Discussing her second pregnancy, Storm admitted that she’s been ‘less sick’ this time around, but instead she’s ‘more emotional, bigger, [and] more uncomfortable’.
Storm tied the knot with Kerr, frontman of rock band The LaFontaines, in 2021, in a wedding on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland.
The following year, the couple welcomed their second child, son Otis.
Born in 1987, the Scottish presenter was given her distinctive Christian name after her mother read Wilber Smith’s 1977 novel A Sparrow Falls – in which the central character has the same name.
Raised in the East Dunbartonshire town of Bishopbriggs, Huntley attended the local high school before attaining degree in politics and economics at the University of Glasgow in 2008.
She continued her studies in England, where she enrolled in a postgraduate degree in broadcast journalism at the London College of Communication.
She also shared the news of her second pregnancy on Instagram, continuing with the trend she used to announce her first pregnancy, paying homage to the famous phrase ‘bun in the oven’
She took her first media role while studying in Glasgow with jobs at a local hospital radio station and the university’s non-profit freeform radio station, Subcity Radio.
Following her graduation she started from the bottom, taking on unpaid work experience before finding paid work as a researcher with BBC Scotland.
After developing a keen interest in weather reporting she took an Open University course in meteorology, a decision that led to Huntley presenting the weather on STV Glasgow’s Riverside Show.
More recently she has appeared on Channel 5 debate show The Wright Stuff and Jeremy Vine as co-host before presenting her own programme Storm Huntley on Channel 5 last year.
After falling pregnant with her first child Huntley launched the Mums In The Making podcast – a light-hearted look at pregnancy through each trimester – alongside writer and producer Rachel Fulton.
