This Bites! Becki Newton Pregnant, NBC Show Delayed
Becki Newton and husband Chris Diamantopoulos are expecting their first child.
This is happy news for the couple, but it’s created a panic at NBC.
The former Ugly Betty star is signed on to anchor Love Bites, a new series premiering on Thursday nights in the fall. Or at least scheduled to – its pilot has been pushed back until midseason because, as NBC Vice President Vernon Sanders said, “she plays a virgin, so we have to make adjustments to that.”
We can see how a pregnancy could throw a wrench into this plan.
In the place of Love Bites, NBC will air a new season of The Apprentice.
Reached for comment about this programming switch, Donald Trump said it was “the best ever.”
