Holly Willoughby in disbelief as she learns of Boris Johnson's new baby live on This Morning

Holly Willoughby was left in shock when she found out about the birth of Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds' baby live on This Morning.

The TV presenter, 39, learned of the news when her co-host Phillip Schofield was told it through his ear-piece just seconds after the show went on air on Wednesday.

She was in belief, asking if the announcement was "definitely right".

The Prime Minister and his fiancée had announced the birth of a "healthy baby boy at a London hospital earlier this morning" just before the show aired.

And Phil broke the news to their viewers, saying: "What breaking news am I being told?
