Holly Willoughby has said she wants to expand her family after cooing over This Morning co-star Rochelle Humes’ new baby.
The 39-year-old TV host already has three children with her producer husband Dan Baldwin – nine-year-old daughter Belle, and sons Harry, 11, and Chester, aged six.
The Saturdays’ singer Rochelle, 31, has three children of her own with JLS singer husband Marvin, 35 – daughters Alaia-Mai, seven, Valentina, three, and newborn two-month-old son Blake.
Holly said that watching occasional This Morning host Rochelle welcome another child has left her wanting more of her own during a chat on a Christmas Day special episode of the ITV magazine show.
Holly and co-host Phillip Schofield ask Rochelle how her daughters are getting along with their new baby brother, Blake, in the course of the Christmas Day episode.
The singer replies: “They are brilliant. They are constantly all over him and fighting about who's going to hold him and who's passing me the baby wipes.
“But it's really nice, and I think because he's a boy there's no competition, they are just trying to be mini mummies!'
As Rochelle holds Blake up to the camera to say goodbye, an emotional Holly gushes: “Oh I want one of those.”
Phillip, in disbelief, retorts: “No, you don’t!”
But Holly insists: “I do!”
Doting mother Holly is highly protective of her three children and does as much as she can to shield them from public life.
The star has roped her kids into advertising and endorsement deals via her social media channels – but covers their faces in shots.
The Christmas Day Special episode of This Morning will also see former Big Brother contestants Alison Hamond and Josie Gibson drop in to assist with presenting.
While TV chef Gino D’Acampo whips up drinks for the daytime TV stars.
This Morning at Christmas airs on ITV on Christmas Day at 10am.
