The television presenter reportedly welcomed his first child with fiancée Vicky Burton last month and the arrival of the little one is "wonderful news" after a tough few months, which saw Jeremy's eponymous show cancelled amidst the death of one of its guests.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "This is wonderful news for both of them. Of course it has been an extremely tough time, but it's lovely to have something to celebrate together. They're very much united and hoping to move forwards with their new son and the rest of their family."

Jeremy - who already has Harriet, 29, with ex Kirsty Rowley and Alice, 16, Ava, 14, and Henry, 10, with his former spouse Carla Germaine - announced the happy news of the pregnancy back in August last year.

He shared at the time: "Vick and I couldn't be happier to say we're expecting our first baby together. We've told our families and everyone is delighted.

"It's the best possible thing that could have happened and we're excited about preparing for his or her arrival in January."

And Jeremy is reportedly making a comeback to television, to happen in 2020.

A source shared previously: "Jeremy is a huge ratings draw and he has a great relationship with ITV, who are very keen to bring him back. So it was only a matter of time. An ITV team have been told 'find a format for Jeremy' and that is what they are working hard to do. His team have told them they are open to all ideas.

"As you would expect, chat show formats are being considered, but others are too. And it is not a given that his return will be to daytime TV. We are expecting to have initial meetings about what they come up with in September, with the aim of then having Jeremy back on TV early next year."
