Holly Willoughby has given birth to a baby boy.

The 28-year-old presenter and television executive husband Dan Baldwin welcomed their first son Harry James at 1.18pm today.

In a statement, manager John Knight confirmed the new arrival, saying: "Mother and baby are doing well."

Willoughby was forced to confirm her pregnancy last November, after X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh accidentally let the news slip on live television.
