Jenny gave an insight into her pregnancy as she shared a video made during Wimbledon.
She wrote alongside it: 'Always so proud to present and voice the women's preview to the Wimbledon final of @bbcsport coverage.
'Not going to lie, I puked my way through this shoot - morning sickness has not been my friend but we got there thanks to pick n mix and most importantly to Joe Bamonte, @bensmith_cam and the editing team in Salford.'
Jenny, who hails from Scotland, is known for her work on BBC Sport and TNT Sports, where she specialises in tennis, rugby, and golf.
She previously opened up about being a female in a male-dominated industry and told the Daily Mail: 'As a female you get commented on how you look and what you wear rather than how you perform as a presenter or reporter.
'Then people criticise the angle of your questions or how articulate you were in the way that you said something. That p****s me off, for sure.
'I use Twitter/X for work but am not active on it. I'm sensitive and can't hack that (abuse) side of it, so I don't even bother looking.'

'I'm a mum with kids and two XL Bullies – Karens need to stop telling me to get rid'
A mum-of-two has hit out at 'Karens' telling her to get rid of the two XL Bully dogs she has had since before her children were born – and people have sprang to her defence A mum is "fed up of Karens" telling her to get rid of her beloved XL Bullies.. Emma Davies has hit back at commenters who say the dogs are dangerous in a post mocking the suggestions she get rid of them. She said: "I know they look all cute and they look really happy and we do really love them. When we go them we were just a couple with no kids, we didn't really have any commitments or responsibilities apart from our dogs. "Then a few years later we got pregnant with our first child and that's when all the comments started. People saying 'are you going to keep those dogs when you're having a baby'. Of course we said yes, we were determined to prove everybody wrong." Emma went on to share that after she had her second baby, the comments continued. She added: "Last year we had our second baby. All was going well until the other day when Karen from down the street decided she wants to stick her two pence in. "She loudly announced to us that we are really bad parents by having those dogs in the house with our kids. "That really made us think that because we've got these two dogs and kids, we really should get rid of them because Karen from down the street told us so. Emma has decided she will not be getting rid of the two dogs any time soon – and shared the conclusion she came to after the run-in with the rude neighbour. She concluded: "In reality, we all know that nobody listens to a Karen. We're gonna stick two fingers up to her and we're going to keep them. Sorry, but how could you actually hate those little faces." Kobe and Luna, the two XL Bully dogs featured in the Instagram post, split members of the public. One viewer praised Emma for raising the dogs right, writing: "Those dogs are happy as anything and very well looked after to." Another added: "Dogs teach our kids so much more than Karen's can even comprehend. I would trust a bully far more than some smaller breeds." A third disagreed and argued the dogs are still "unpredictable," writing: "Your two kids deserve to be safe. The dogs look gorgeous and I know you love your dogs. "However, I wouldn't take a chance on them turning on the children. It's not just these dogs as any can be unpredictable but I agree with Karen." XL Bully ownership is now restricted under a UK law which passed in December 2023. It is now illegal to sell XL Bullies and those who do own the breed must have a valid certificate of ownership.

Chelsea star deletes references to club on Instagram after Enzo Maresca snub
Wesley Fofana has deleted all reference to Chelsea on his official Instagram account after he was overlooked by Enzo Maresca in the draw with Crystal Palace last weekend. The 24-year-old has struggled for regular playing time at Chelsea due to injuries following his move from Leicester City for an initial £70 million fee three years ago. Fofana did not play a single minute in the 2023-24 campaign due to an ACL injury, while last season he made 14 appearances in the Premier League. The French defender was named on the bench for Chelsea's Premier League opener against Crystal Palace last Sunday but he was left as an unused substitute as the Club World Cup champions were held to a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are in the market for a new central defender with Levi Colwill set to miss the majority of the season with an ACL injury. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. Maresca, meanwhile, has made it clear that he does not Fofana as a replacement for Colwill in the central position of his back three. 'He [Fofana] needs to be fit, first of all, and then he can do it,' Maresca said. More Trending 'He played 45 minutes in that position and it was the first half against Bournemouth away if you remember – probably one of the worst halves since we started. 'Benoit [Badiashile] playing in the middle, the Conference League final, first half, we were losing 1-0. Then we changed with Levi and we won 3-1. So it's not the same.' Fofana has now sparked speculation over his future by deleting all reference to Chelsea on his Instagram page and leaving up images of his personal life, as well as his time at Leicester City, Saint-Etienne, and with France's national side. Chelsea are next in action away to West Ham on Friday evening. For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
