The new mother shared an adorable update with her social media followers

Bargain Hunt favourite Natasha Raskin Sharp has updated fans following the recent birth of her first child, revealing how her return to work has been going.

The 37-year-old antiques expert announced the birth of her baby daughter, whom she later revealed is called Jean, earlier this year.


Taking to her Instagram page recently, the radio presenter shared a sweet snap of herself with her daughter huddled close to her in a baby carrier.

She penned: “9 weeks in already…starting to feel human again! And Thursday nights at @bbcradioscot are starting to feel less, shall we say…wild? Not a nursery rhyme in sight on tonight’s playlist — check it out from 10pm on @bbcsounds. X”

Raskin Sharp confirmed in late February that she was back on the radio for listeners to tune in, urging them to do so.

Admiring the adorable new picture, fans were pleased to see Raskin Sharp doing well but were keen to share some parenting pearls of wisdom as they urged Raskin Sharp to make the most of her time with her newborn.

One wrote: “Soak up the first six months. It’s just the best. It’s so easy and special. Just cherish every second.

“Who am I to comment? I was a stay-at-home dad to 3 kids under 6 years old. She went back to work after two weeks, with all 3 as she’s a nurse. Good luck. Gorgeous picture. X."

“I am 64 and still Mother Little Boy....... So Strap Yourself in Natasha it's going to be a long ride...xxxx,” another jokingly warned.

“How lovely. Time goes so quickly. My eldest is at university now,” another mother commented, while a fourth advised: “Enjoy your little one before you know it she will be at school.”

“Wow, don't time fly when you're having fun. All the very best to you and your family. She's so cute. Hope to see you back on our tellys very soon xx,” someone else remarked.

“Time goes so quickly enjoy your gorgeous baby x,” another enthused. (sic)

Raskin Sharp announced back in January she’d given birth, posting a snap of her daughter’s hand wrapped around her finger.

She wrote at the time: “What a way to start the year - the last few days have been nothing short of immense.”

She confirmed she’d be taking some time away from work to spend some quality time with her newborn.

"I’ll be handing over my Thursday night @bbcradioscot duties to the excellent @ravisagoogram for a short spell - thanks, Ravi.

“Catch him from 10pm on @bbcsounds. In the meantime, there’ll be lots of new #bbcbargainhunt and @antiqueroadtrip action (filmed when baby was a mere bump). Back soon! X,” she explained.
