Dermot added: "This week we had a brand new addition to the This Morning family."

Alison said: "Our deputy editor Emma welcomed a beautiful little girl called Mia on Monday."

After Dermot interrupted to shout "Stop," Alison added: "Weighing in at 7lbs 9 oz - what a clever mummy," as Dermot reacted: "What a little beaut.", Chronicle Live reports.

Alison gushed: "Look at this baby, I just want to cuddle her."

Rounding off the announcement, Alison sent a message to Emma saying: "Honestly, we cannot wait for you to come back to the studio and introduce us."

Dermot then told viewers that there was a family connection with Friday's This Morning as producer Nicole was baby Mia's auntie.

This Morning viewers were slightly less enthusiastic about the announcement, with one tweeting: "Random news about some woman having a baby."

A second said: "Really omg a real baby ??? No !! Omg that’s a miracle."

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV from 10am.
