“Well, speaking of babies, I have some news for you tonight,” Bickmore, 33, said to fellow hosts Matt Doran, Peter Helliar and Todd Sampson.
“I am having a baby.”
Bickmore already has one son, seven-year-old Ollie, from her marriage to husband Greg Lange, who passed away of a cancerous brain tumour in 2010.
The Logie-nominated television star was congratulated with a huge bunch of flowers from her crew.
“I don’t need flowers, the hard work’s still to come! I don’t deserve any flowers,” she joked.
Bickmore and Walker, a producer on The Project, have been dating since 2012.
The beloved TV host took to Twitter to thank her well-wishers and share a message about hospital funding.
“Our hospitals are in dire need of funding to pay for vital equipment to help sick bubs. They need us,” she wrote.
Thanks for all your lovely lovely messages…still getting through them all now!!
