Who is Sian Welby?
Born in Nottingham, Sian Welby began presenting at 19.
She starred in an advert for New! magazine and was quickly spotted by Channel 5 boss Richard Desmond.
While she worked part-time as a shop assistant at New Look, Sian became the face of Channel 5 News.
She went on to become the lead weather presenter and turned her hand to radio.
In 2020, Sian replaced Strictly star Vick Hope on Capital to host alongside Roman and Sonny Jay.
She left in 2022 to launch his own solo evening show and was replaced by Radio One’s Chris Stark.
She regularly appeared on This Morning as a competition presenter in 2023.
On January 22, 2024, she made her debut as a host on the ITV show and was dubbed a ‘rising star,’ sources say.
A source told MailOnline: “Sian has many years of presenting experience under her belt, she is very much ear marked as being a star of the future.
“She has done really well already on This Morning so the bosses thought it was time to give her the reins to the whole show rather than just segments.”
Who is Sian Welby’s fiancé Jake Beckett?
The presenter is loved-up with her radio producer fiancé Jake Beckett.
The pair met at work as Jake works for Heart Breakfast as a creative producer alongside hosts including Kelly Brook, Rochelle Humes, Vogue Williams and Emma Bunton.
Sian told The Sun in 2022 how Emma Bunton and Amanda Holden were among those who helped her elderly dad “cheat” death.
He caught Covid back in May 2022 while suffering from cancer – leaving Sian fearing the worst.
His health seriously declined after suffering from sepsis and pneumonia in both lungs.
He dropped down to six and a half stone during the seven-week stint in hospital – and there was a chance he’d never come home.
She said: “A week after that post of me hugging him, and after 37,000 people liking and commenting on my story, I really believe in the power of positivity.
“He couldn’t believe Emma Bunton and Amanda Holden sent him a message to get well soon!
“He asked me to print all the DMs out so he can look at them when I’m not there!
“It was honestly a miracle.”
When did Sian Welby and Jake Beckett get engaged?
The couple got engaged in the summer of 2023, with her revealing the big news to her Instagram followers.
Alongside a happy snap of the two, with Sian showing off her diamond ring, she wrote: “I thought we were just going on a boat trip!!.
“Genuinely didn’t see this coming.
“For once I am totally speechless.
“I didn’t think it mattered until he asked me, and then suddenly it meant everything. Love you Jakey x 15.8.23.”
