The Great British Bake Off presenter Noel Fielding is about to see his family grow, after his girlfriend Lliana Bird revealed she is expecting the couple’s second child.
Two years after the birth of their daughter, DJ Lliana, 38, has announced she is expecting another bundle of joy, announcing she has “been baking something” in lockdown.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “I’ve actually been baking a little something of myself this lockdown so I’m starting my maternity leave from @radiox this week, and delighted that the bad ass lady that is @pollyjames will be keeping my show seat warm in the coming months.”
The lovebirds welcomed their first child, a little girl named Dali, back in 2018, with the duo reportedly naming the baby after the surrealist painter, Salvador Dali.

At the time, a source reportedly told The Sun: “Noel thought the name was a perfect fit. Salvador has played a big part in his life, so it’s no surprise to his friends he’s named a baby after him.
“It’s a cute name and really suits the tot.”
Lliana and Noel, 47, have been dating since 2010, striking up a relationship shortly after the comedian skyrocketed to success with The Mighty Boosh.
