This Morning star returns to ITV show with baby just weeks after giving birth

New mum Sian Welby made her return to This Morning just eight weeks after giving birth and she even brought baby Ruby along.

On June 29, the presenter announced that she had given birth to her first baby with her fiancé Jake Beckett, and just two months later she was back on the ITV show alongside co-host Craig Doyle.

At the start of Monday’s episode, Craig teased: ‘You have brought along a very very special guest – our newest, tiniest, cutest member of the This Morning family, with Jake.’

Her partner was seen cuddling their daughter as he encouraged her to ‘say hello’, while Craig added: ‘The nation curls up with cuteness, aw Sian.’

The 37-year-old star admitted she was ‘quite nervous about leaving her’ at home as she returned to work, so she was glad to have her little bundle of joy with her.

She said: ‘Little Ruby, oh it’s so sweet to have her with me today because I was quite nervous about leaving her, do you know what I mean?’

It was an adorable moment until Jake brought everyone down to earth as he quipped: ‘She did a big poo before we left. She’s all good now.’

‘Oh great,’ laughed Sian, while Craig couldn’t resist a joke as he teased: ‘I’m not going to say what I was going to say but… we’re all nervous!’

Sian teased: ‘You had the same sort of morning did you?’

Meanwhile, Jake joked that he and Ruby might still around ‘all morning for them burgers’ with a nod towards the cooking segment later in the show, while Craig quickly gave him some tongue in cheek fatherly advice.

‘Don’t feed her burgers,’ he said. ‘I know you’re a new dad, but burgers are not good.’

Taking to her Instagram Story after the episode aired, she wrote to her fans: ‘Today was so special having @jakebeckett92 and Ruby on my first day back at work. Thanks for all the lovely messages of support it means a lot.’

Sian recently revealed she will be returning to Capital Breakfast to rejoin Jordan North and Chris Stark on September 2.

‘I’m so thrilled to get back into the studio with Jordan and Chris! We have some huge plans for when I return, so make sure you’re tuned in,’ she said. ‘I just hope I can get ready and get in on time because as much as I look like everything is together, Ruby is about to cry and I’m sat here with no trousers on.’

She continued: ‘I’d also love to thank Kemi [Rodgers] for doing an outstanding job while I’ve been away. See you in September!’

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1.
