Congratulations are in order for Sylvia Jeffreys and Peter Stefanovic, who recently announced that they’re expecting their first baby.

Jeffreys confirmed the news on Tuesday night’s  9NewsWatch  by explaining how a glass of red wine is as good as an hour of exercise. This is due to resveratrol, which is a compound found in red wine and apparently gives the same benefits as exercise.

“You’ll all have to have one for me because I won’t be drinking for a while with a baby on the way,” she said, beaming.

“My husband Pete and I were so delighted to share the news with you last night and we want to say thank you so much for all the beautiful messages that we’ve received in the last 24 hours saying congratulations. We cannot wait to meet our little baby boy next year. We are definitely feeling all the love. And thank you very much for all your well wishes!”

The happy couple also shared their news on Instagram. Mum-to-be Jeffreys posted a photo standing alongside her husband Stefanovic.
