Holly Willoughby has annouced, live on This Morning, that she is three months' pregnant with her second child. She said husband Dan Baldwin was thrilled, as were the rest of her friends and family. Standing by co-host Phillip Schofield, Holly said: "It's a relief [to be back] because I can finally say the lovely news that Dan and I are expecting another baby." When asked by Phillip how she was doing, Holly said: "Really, really well, really good actually," adding that she has only suffered a couple of days of morning sickness so far and was hoping that things would stay the same. Holly and Dan had their first child, Harry, in May 2009. She added: "Dan is thrilled...and for Harry, a brother or sister, who knows?" The ITV presenter revealed that she had a scan on Friday before getting the all-clear results this morning. Holly also joked that she would be sporting a large bump again when she presents next year's Dancing On Ice when it screens in the New Year. "I'm going to be huge and fat and big again."
