ITV star makes baby announcement as they confess 'I've been crying my eyes out'

During Tuesday's segment on the ITV show Lorraine, former Strictly Come Dancing star Tyler West shared an emotional update about his family life.

Host Ranvir Singh, who is overseeing the programme this week, was keen to congratulate Tyler on a happy personal news.

Ranvir chimed in, saying: "Now, Tyler. Congratulations. I know you're here for loads of showbiz, but congratulations, Uncle Tyler!"

Returning the positivity, Tyler confessed: "I've been crying my eyes out. I feel like I've had the baby!"

Eager for details about the little newcomer, Tyler informed Ranvir that his brother and sister-in-law recently welcomed their child, baby Blake into the world, reports the Mirror.

He continued, sharing his own surprise: "I've never held a baby! I'm actually an uncle and I've never held a baby that young as well. Literally, less than 24 hours old!"

Tyler humorously expressed he was apprehensive about 'breaking' the tiny baby due to its fragility, while Ranvir queried whether he felt nervous during the tender moment.

He admitted: "I was proper shaking! You know what happens as well when a newborn comes? Everybody goes, 'You're next.' I'm like, 'Chill out!'".

When Ranvir hinted she was going to ask the same thing, Tyler quickly asserted: "No way!"

Tyler is presently in a romantic relationship with EastEnders star and fellow ex-Strictly contestant Molly Rainford.

The couple initially crossed paths while competing on the BBC dance extravaganza in 2022, but it wasn't until the following year's Strictly tour that their romance blossomed.

Continuing his heartwarming account about his new nephew, Tyler expressed: "Blake is just the most beautiful little boy, he's so loved and our family is just overjoyed at the moment."

In a candid confession about this being his first experience as an uncle, Ranvir remarked: "Your heart just opens up in a new way. I think when your sibling has their first child, it really does. You're going to spoil that baby, I can tell."

The 28-year-old acknowledged his eagerness to indulge the infant as a look of pure joy spread across his face.

Over the past weekend, Tyler turned to social media, posting adorable pictures with the baby while still in the hospital.

Accompanying the endearing photos, he wrote: "Never known a feeling like it. Blake West, Welcome to the world our unbeautiful nephew. We love you so much already. Couldn't be prouder @lewiswest91 @yasmin__west."

Lorraine continues weekdays on ITV from 9am.
