Eamonn first revealed the happy news of Emelia's arrival on Tuesday's This Morning. Appearing alongside his wife, Ruth Langsford, the overjoyed father-of-four said: "They gave birth to Amelia, seven pounds and six ounces, so that's lovely. And that's the first grandchild, my mother's a great-grandmother now."

Ruth, who was also visibly thrilled with the family announcement, then asked her husband: "What are you going to be, Gramps, Grandad? Grumps we came up with but he wasn't too keen on that one!"
Eamonn then interjected with his trademark wit: "You see it surprises people, because people look at me and they think 'He's too young to be a grandad'. I've got people getting in touch with me about glamorous grandad competitions and all sorts of things like that."
The broadcaster then went onto explain that a friend of his is known as Papa. "I like Papa," added Ruth, "It's got a head of the family feel about it. Congratulations Declan and Jenny we can't wait to meet her."
