Bargain Hunt’s Natasha Raskin Sharp shares rare update on baby daughter after posting adorable snap
BARGAIN Hunt’s Natasha Raskin Sharp has shared a rare update on her baby daughter after posting an adorable snap.
The star gave birth to baby Jean in January this year, but was soon back at work on her BBC Radio Scotland show.
During one episode this week, a listener called Ken asked what baby Jean’s choice of music would be.
Natasha replied: “I think baby Jean would be quite into Yellow Magic Orchestra, actually, if she could speak. She was very vocal today, I have to say.
“She discovered the syllable ‘b’ from the moment she woke up.
“So perhaps she would have said ‘b-b-b-bloomin’ marvellous choice’, I don’t know.”
She continued to joke: “Maybe she would have said ‘b-b-b-Boz Scaggs was her favourite. For all I know that’s what she was trying to say.
“Thank you Ken for asking, no one has been asking what is Jean’s favourite type of music, that’s a very good question.”
As well as Jean getting to grips with her a new letter sound, she also made her debut at a live auction this week.
Taking to Instagram, Natasha shared a snap of her cradling her daughter while on stage overseeing proceedings.
Natasha added a thoughtful emoji face over her daughter’s features and captioned the snap: “Baby Jean’s first live auction today…forgive the grainy pic!
“That was in Edinburgh (for the incredible @leuchiehousebreaks) but I’ll be in the Glasgow studio for @bbcradioscot tonight. Where will you be tuning in from? Do let me know.”
Fans were quick to comment, with one joking: “How much did the baby fetch at auction? Kidding and adorable child!”
Another added: “Did she put a bid in for a doll or rare stieiff bear.”
A third commented: “Beautiful baby Beautiful mummy love the photo.”
