However, as well as informing hosts Matt Baker and Angela Scanlon of the new arrival, she also called on BBC One viewers to help come up with a name for the newborn.
"Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker," Angela, 33, had opened with, while her companion added excitedly: "Angela Scanlon and… Alex Jones is on the phone, right now."
Matt, 39, continued: "Hang on, hang on, hang on, why on earth are you ringing? Do you have some news?"

When asked for more details, the brunette beauty said: "He was 7lbs 11 – a lovely weight – it was all very straightforward and lovely actually.
"Charlie [Thomson, her husband] was with me, mum and dad were in the waiting room. We didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. The last four days have been heaven, we have been in this bubble the three of us, it's just the best time."
