Holly Willoughby: 'Baby Belle is doing well'
Holly Willoughby made a surprise visit to This Morning earlier today.
The presenter is currently on maternity leave following the birth of her baby daughter Belle last month.
Describing Belle as a "little piglet", Willoughby told Phillip Schofield and Ruth Langsford that her arrival had been a somewhat "stop start" event.
"We had to leave her in for as long as possible but obviously my waters had broken so she was at risk of infection so it was all a bit stop start stop start, but she's here and she's fine," she explained. "She's 7lb 6oz now and she was born at 5lb 2oz so in four weeks she's done really well."
Asked by Schofield if Belle was sleeping okay, she said: "Hmmmm... not so much! Well she's not too bad - she wakes up at 11pm, then at 4am, then at 6am-ish."
Thanking viewers of the daily ITV1 magazine show for their support and gifts, the 30-year-old continued: "I am resting from the telly, but really busy at home. And also I just wanted to say thank you to everybody for all your amazing messages that you sent me and also all the little knitted jumpers and booties and all lovely cute things that you got me and because Belle was so tiny they were actually the only things that fitted - so Bella has worn so many of them, so thank you very much.
"This Morning is my best friend at the moment - I literally have it on every day and its always time for Belle's feed at around midday - which is now, so I'd better go!"
Next week, Schofield and co-host Jenni Falconer will kick off Your This Morning Week by allowing viewers to use pioneering online technology to view the show from any angle with a new 360 degree camera.
