Holly Willoughby has spoken on This Morning for the first time since revealing that she has given birth to her third child

Sounding very happy (but very sleepy!) Holly 'appeared' on This Morning via telephone, speaking to a very excited Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden.

She told the presenters: “I'm really good, we're really happy… It was a very exciting evening.”

“I started having contractions at 9 in the morning, they lasted all day… He arrived at around 7.20(pm).”

Holly also revealed she went for a different birth plan compared to her previous two children.

“I had a water birth- that was amazing,” the 33-year-old told her co-presenter and cheery stand-in.

“He's so delicious, I can't stop looking at him.”

The Celebrity Juice panelist also revealed some details about his name.

“He's called Chester William Baldwin,” she said. “It's a name we had for ages, when we had Harry (Holly’s eldest son) we were umming and ahhing over Chester and Harry.”

Five-year-old Harry and Holly’s three-year-old daughter Belle met their new brother this morning, but big brother Harry was not too chuffed with his sibling’s name.

“Everybody's absolutely fine, we're just in a lovely baby bubble, I can't wait for you to meet him,” she finished.

Congratulations Holly and Dan!
