It comes soon after the 38-year-old was 'mum shamed' over a decision regarding her baby daughter

Bargain Hunt favourite Natasha Raskin Sharp has been applauded by fans for juggling her auction work with being a new mother.

The 38-year-old television presenter announced the birth of her baby daughter Jean earlier this year, and has since shared adorable updates on social media.


Taking to her Instagram recently, the radio presenter shared a snap of herself leading an auction while holding baby Jean, whose face she disguised with an emoji.

She penned: "Baby Jean’s first live auction today…forgive the grainy pic! That was in Edinburgh (for the incredible @leuchiehousebreaks) but I’ll be in the Glasgow studio for @bbcradioscot tonight.

"Where will you be tuning in from? Do let me know. Hammer’s up…see you via @bbcsounds at 10pm!"

Many took to the comments section to praise the antiques expert, with one person writing: "Well done to you and baby Jean for last night’s auction.

"Thanks so much for encouraging all the bidders and buyers at the Cambridge Standing Tall giraffe trail."

Another joked: "How much did the baby fetch at auction? Kidding and adorable child!"

"Beautiful baby Beautiful mummy love the photo," a third admired, while someone else added: "Multitasking Mum."

Another simply penned: "#wonderwoman," with a fifth writing: "Go Natasha!"

"Doesn't look a bit like her mum," another quipped, while someone else repeated: "So how much did Jean fetch?"

Raskin Sharp announced in January she had given birth to her first child, and soon after confirmed that she was back on the radio for listeners to tune in, urging them to do so.

In March, she penned in view of her 33,000 followers: "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"

While she has opted to hide her daughter's face in each post, Raskin Sharp has frequently used the social media app to mark milestones and candid updates about her return to work and adjustment to motherhood.

Last month, some of her fans unfortunately had to defend the Scottish presenter against critics complaining about her decision to hide Jean's face from the public photos.

Raskin Sharp ignored the comments but several of her fans were quick to hit back at the harsh remarks.
