The couple announced their happy news earlier this month after trying IVF for the final time.
Matthew, 53, and Amelia, 42 will welcome their baby girl on Valentine’s Day next year.
The TV host, who left The Wright Stuff after 18 years in June, is now looking forward to the challenge of parenting.
He told Hello! Magazine: “I'm excited – and terrified.
“I've only ever held two babies in my entire life!
Now I can envisage becoming the primary carer when Amelia returns to work.”
He described their final IVF treatment as “our final roll of the dice” and said they had “waited a long time for this moment”.
Matthew, who now hosts a show on talkRADIO, added: “Every day we keep pinching ourselves because we can hardly believe it's finally happening.”
The couple, who married in 2010, have tried for a family for many years after Amelia had an ectopic pregnancy in 2009 having fallen pregnant with twins.
She said: “I felt an explosion inside of me, and thought, 'That's it, I'm dying.'
“It was terrifying. I could see my life flash before me and knew that if doctors had waited to operate, I wouldn't make it to the morning.”
Amelia underwent IVF treatment and fell pregnant six more times, but sadly she miscarried.
Their seventh attempt saw them have to decide whether to donate their last embryo to medical science, or to try pregnancy one more time.
Amelia said: “I couldn't bring myself to give it up.
“Without any expectation, I wanted one last shot.”
