58-year-old TV and radio presenter Jeremy Kyle has confirmed that he and his wife Victoria are expecting a baby, which will be Kyle's sixth child.
Kyle, best known as presenter of controversial TV programme The Jeremy Kyle Show, which ran from 2005 to 2019, confirmed the news to The Sun newspaper on Monday.
He said, "Yes, baby number six is incoming, I'm catching BoJo [Boris Johnson] up, to be honest!"
Continuing, he said: "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."
Kyle underwent treatment for testicular cancer in 2012.
The couple already have a son, Oliver, who was born in 2020. Kyle also has four other children from two previous marriages.
Kyle reposted the news story on his Instagram alongside a series of heart emojis, as well as showing an apparent gender reveal with his youngest son excitedly exclaiming about the new baby, while surrounded by pink confetti.
The Jeremy Kyle Show was long-running stalwart of British TV where participants would air their personal issues, often involving infidelity, in front of a live studio audience. The show would often broadcast verbal and physical altercations and was cancelled in 2019 after the suicide of a participant.
A UK government inquiry was then launched into reality TV and how participants are cared for.
Kyle has gone on to forge a career in radio and is due to co-present a new programme on British TV channel Talk TV from early October called Talk Today.
