‘I’ve disguised the bump behind the desk with black – and lots of borrowed clothes.
‘A few people at work had their suspicions though. The Maccas fries for lunch was probably a give away,’ she joked.

‘My friends said, ”Oh my god, you’re pregnant!”,’ she continued.
‘I thought the bottle must’ve been corked but I went home and did a test and it was positive. I was jumping around the bathroom. It was the best birthday present I’ve ever had.’
Meanwhile, the popular South Australian TV identity recently shared an ultra sound of her bub – but has decided not to reveal the baby’s gender.
Elspeth tied the knot with her beau in a lavish wedding at St Mary’s Church, North Adelaide in January.
The pair first met nearly 20 years earlier when they were both 21 reported the Advertiser.
Elspeth turned heads in an elegant wedding gown from SA designer Rapsimo.
Alistair, who works for NAB, looked like a classic groom in black suit with white dress suit and bow tie combo.
The happy couple later honeymooned on Hamilton Island.
Elspeth has been a well known face at Seven Adelaide for over a decade.
