So it makes sense that the other important man in Holly's life was over the moon to hear the news!

Phillip Schofield, who co-presents This Morning with Holly, revealed that Holly had phoned him to tell him the news personally.

The silver-haired presenter wrote excitedly: "Had a lovely phone call from @hollywills tonight.

"Congratulations gorgeous and welcome Chester William Baldwin .... 8lbs 12 blimey!"

Phil and Holly may be colleagues, but they're very good friends as well; they often go out for dinner together with their partners, and keep This Morning audiences amused by their giggly antics on-screen.

Speaking about Holly in an interview, Phil said: "[We are] a very complementary team on-air which comes from the fact we trust each other 100 per cent off-air as well.

"If you didn’t get on with the person you were doing it with, it would be appalling. If I was describing our friendship, I would say it is trusting and honest.

"Holly is an incredibly honest person and she has a brilliantly refreshing way of looking at something."

We wonder if he'll be popping over to see Holly and baby Chester - laden down with a teddy-bear and a balloon - when he gets out of work later?
