TELLY host Jeremy Kyle is to become a dad for the sixth time at 58 — and joked that he is catching up with ex-PM Boris Johnson.
The TalkTV presenter — soon to co-host the breakfast show — revealed the happy news alongside his wife Victoria.
The couple are expecting a daughter, having welcomed their first baby together, Oliver, in 2020.
Jeremy, who married Victoria in 2021, and previously overcame testicular cancer, joked: “Yes, baby number six is incoming, I’m catching BoJo up, to be honest!
“Vic says I need to set up a side business by bottling it because I’m 58 and I’ve only got one testicle, but everyone knows that anyway.
“It’s a baby girl, she’s due early next year, and we’re over the moon as our family is complete.”
Jeremy added: “The other kids are really happy, although my eldest Harriet thinks I need sectioning.
“I personally think it’s my late parents having a laugh from up above, to be honest.
“When I got offered the new TalkTV breakfast show it was a no brainer, because we’re not going to get any flippin’ sleep for the next two years anyway!”
Jeremy, best known for his long-running talk show on ITV, will pair up with ex-Coronation Street actress Nicola Thorp in his new role — with the unlikely duo having wildly opposing political views.
They launch their new TalkTV show next Monday.
Jeremy became one of Britain’s best-known faces after years on daytime TV, having started out around 2000 on regional radio.
He went on to focus on a string of consumer shows and documentaries, and has also been a keen advocate of male health issues.
He underwent treatment for testicular cancer in 2012.
Jeremy, who is also a grandfather, said later: “It’s been a horrific time — a very sobering experience — but now I just feel lucky to be alive.
“I feel lucky that I’m here for family and can see my kids grow up.
“To be honest, I thought, ‘That’s it, I’m dead’.”
He has since supported numerous men’s health charities, encouraging other men to get checked for the disease and speaking out regularly about his own experiences.
