Sharon's happy announcement comes after she shared the news of her pregnancy live on air, in January 2018. "I'm pregnant. I am probably going to say everything wrong. I am a little bit emotional!" she shared. "Who knew? Because we didn’t!" elated Phillip asked. Sharon admitted she had confided in the show's resident doctor Dr Chris Steele about her baby joy. "Well, I told Dr Chris very early so he's been keeping the secret," she shared. "Myself and my partner Paul Fletcher, we're 14 weeks along, and we let Dr Chris into the secret a long time ago because he's the king of the corridor consultation!"
