In a beautiful bit of radio on Hit 106.9 Newcastle‘s Nick ‘Ducko’ Allen-Ducat brought his wife Morgan in for the game Quiz With a Twist, where they compete against each other, with Ducko’s breakfast co-host Jess Farchione saying it was first time Morgan had ever spoken or appeared on air. Little did Jess know that a bigger surprise was to come.
Listeners to the show have been invested in the couple’s IVF journey. Jess gave birth to her daughter Lucia late last year, and unwittingly also uncovered Ducko’s own potential issues having children.
Listeners comments have included Elisha’s:
“This needed a warning, I almost crashed the car cos I burst into tears!! So special! Congrats.”
And Alex:
“The constant optimism, openness and vulnerability you’ve both shown through the hurdles you’ve encountered getting to this moment is a testament to not only how amazing you are as a couple, but who you are as people!”
Baby Ducko, a girl, is due April 2025. You can listen to the full segment here. Epic effort in keeping it a secret from Jess, and congratulations.
