BBC Breakfast has wished their co-star Nina Warhurst well after she gave birth.
Nina Warhurst has given birth to a daughter
Sally Nugent, 51, and Jon Kay, 53, broke the news that their 42-year-old co-star on the morning news programme had welcomed a baby girl with her husband, Ed Fraser, with whom she already has sons Digby, seven, and Michael, five.
Sally told viewers from the red sofa: "Some very exciting news now about our colleague Nina Warhurst.
"Who we said goodbye to not very many days ago as she went off on maternity leave.
"She has welcomed a very healthy, beautiful baby girl."
After revealing the happy news, a picture of the proud parents and their latest bundle of joy appeared on the screen as Jon said: “And there she is.”
He went on to explain that their daughter was currently without a name and selecting one was a “work in progress”.
Jon said: "Nina has told us the baby's name is a working progress, but the great news is they're all doing well after what Nina says was brilliant care from the team at St Mary's in Manchester.”
“Isn’t she gorgeous?”
Sally added confirmation of the care compliments and revealed that Nina was watching along at home with her new addition.
She said: "I believe this as well - Nina said she's watching from home, morning, Nina!
"Along with the baby and two beautiful big brothers and she's very grateful for all the gorgeous messages she's had from people at home who are watching too.
"So she wants to pass on her thanks for everything - all the kind words people have said."
Jon concluded: "All our love to you and the family, Nina – that is fantastic, we're delighted for you.”
Nina shared the news of her pregnancy on Mother’s Day and worked until just her due date, which had been “intense”.
She said on social media: "It's been a funky few months… involving intense migraines, vomiting, morning kebabs, first-time acne, small acts of violence against fruit, afternoon kebabs, tears, spontaneous snoozes, anxiety and more kebabs.
"I am settling in to the middle chunk (emphasis on chunk) and enjoying the wonders of Mother Nature and her tiny kicks and flutters. The boys and the cat have been enjoying their new chair. God willing, Baby Doner-Shish joins the outside world in the summer."
