Richard proceeded to share further details about the couple's birth announcement, which had been posted to Calvin's Instagram profile on Tuesday evening, reports the Mirror.
"Now, Calvin celebrated the arrival on Instagram, not to everyone's taste though. Calvin also revealed he had the placenta dried and converted into pills, as the search for eternal youth continues. Congratulations though, to the Hope-Harris family," Richard continued.
Kate then interrupted: "It's very good for you though!" with Richard responding: "Yes it is indeed! So, good luck with those pills. Very Hollywood but nevertheless what fantastic news to wake up to this morning."
Calvin, who wed Radio 1 broadcaster Vick in 2023 during a festival-inspired celebration in Ibiza, shared a collection of images and a heartfelt message dedicated to his wife to commemorate their baby son's birth on social media.
"20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah," the father-of-one wrote.

Calvin's series of images showed that Vick had opted for a water birth, with one photograph capturing her in a blue birthing pool outdoors on a balcony overlooking stunning scenery. Additional pictures displayed the placenta being transformed into capsules alongside Calvin, whose real name is Adam Wiles, cradling his baby son.
The couple were flooded with congratulations and kind words from supporters and famous friends alike.
DJ Mista Jam commented: "Welcome to Parenthood guys. The best ride of your life," whilst Craig David remarked: "Congratulations to you both. Amazing."
Gordon Ramsay posted: "Congratulations @calvinharris @vicknhope welcome to the world Micah," and Pixie Lott gushed: "omg congrats vick and calvin! ! ! ! so lovely," accompanied by a string of heart emojis.

MasterChef viewers notice one thing about John Torode and Gregg Wallace in show's return
MasterChef viewers notice one thing about John Torode and Gregg Wallace in show's return MasterChef is back on our screens with John Torode and Gregg Wallace at the helm, but a body language expert noticed something quite specific in the first episode John Torode and Gregg Wallace (Image: BBC) Gregg Wallace and John Torode displayed a lack of 'on-screen chemistry' during the opening episode of MasterChef since the presenters were removed from the programme, according to a body language expert. MasterChef makes its return to television tonight following numerous weeks of controversy surrounding Torode and Wallace. Wallace was removed from the series after legal firm Lewis Silkin supported 45 out of 85 complaints made against him regarding inappropriate conduct. Whilst the 60-year-old has acknowledged using unsuitable language on occasions, he refutes the more severe accusations. Meanwhile, co-presenter Torode did not have his contract renewed with Banijay UK, the production company behind MasterChef, following allegations that he employed racist language during an inquiry into his former colleague's conduct, reports the Mirror. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . He maintained he had no recollection of making such remarks and denies the incident occurred. This follows reports that Gregg Wallace is attempting to 'earn a living' following his MasterChef departure amid a 'battle every day'. With MasterChef returning to our screens, body language specialist Judi James examined the 'spatial distance' between the pair. She tells us: "Torode and Wallace are not really presented as a double act here, more like two experts with little in the way of close communication or synchronicity. "Gregg is clearly the bigger character on screen, throwing his arms open and bending his knees to welcome the competitors while John stands quietly with his hands clasped in front of his torso. "Gregg seems to be the one interviewing the contestants in a chatty, animated style while they cook, while John is shown as a more serious-looking presence with little if anything in the way of show-boating." Judi went on: "Nothing seems to hinge on any on-screen chemistry between the stars and any interaction there is seems to be either shot with a spatial distance at a table or in the style of one commenting solo to the camera while the other is filmed doing the reaction shots. "Most of their screen time seems to be doing individual pieces to camera. There's no telling connection like playfulness or even eye contact with each other. This seems to be ostensibly like two professional experts doing their own thing on the same programme." The BBC faced criticism for their choice to broadcast this new series featuring both Gregg and John. They released a statement, which said: "After careful consideration and consultation with the contestants, we have decided to broadcast the amateur series of MasterChef on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 6 August. "MasterChef is an amazing competition which is life-changing for the amateur chefs taking part. The focus of it has always been their skill and their journey. Article continues below "This has not been an easy decision in the circumstances, and we appreciate that not everyone will agree with it. In showing the series, which was filmed last year, it in no way diminishes our view of the seriousness of the upheld findings against both presenters. We have been very clear on the standards of behaviour that we expect of those who work at the BBC or on shows made for the BBC. "However, we believe that broadcasting this series is the right thing to do for these cooks who have given so much to the process. We want them to be properly recognised and give the audience the choice to watch the series."

Top female BBC star at centre of 'nude scandal' after showing X-rated pic to junior colleague
The unnamed BBC star, who allegedly showed the unsolicited nude snap to a junior colleague, is said to be one of the highest earners in the Beeb this year. A well known female star on the BBC has reportedly been involved in a shocking scandal after allegedly showing an unsolicited nude snap to a junior colleague which comes as the latest controversy under the broadcaster's watch. According to The Sun, the presenter, who has not yet been named, is said to be a high earner in the company and ranked in the Corporation's top 50 highest paid this year. The unnamed star allegedly showed a graphic image of a nude man's genitals on her phone during a conversation about personal preferences, leaving the recipient 'completely horrified". The identity of the male in the snap remains unknown but insiders claim the interaction was intended as 'jokey, locker-room banter". However, the situation took an uncomfortable turn and is said to have left the junior staff member in tears. A source described the scandal as a "ticking time bomb". They warned: 'As soon as the name of this woman - and details of her bad behaviour - are unleashed, it will derail entire departments and mark the first female to be formally swept up into the BBC's wrongdoing roll call. "The woman asked the young producer if she liked 'd*** pics' and then showed her a picture on her mobile phone. "It was meant to be jokey, locker-room type banter, but the woman was completely horrified and cried about it. 'No one minds a bit of office banter, but this was on another level. She felt like it was an intentionally shocking move to intimidate, veiled as a joke. It was way too much. 'The woman had to apologise to the girl. It's double standards, but somehow a woman being involved in showing d**k pics feels much more offensive than a male. "The release of her name would be seismic.' This would mark the first time a female BBC star has been swept into the broadcaster's growing list of controversies. The alleged incident adds to the BBC's growing pile of scandals with the Beeb still recovering from heavily reported misconduct claims involving other high-profile stars. These include MasterChef hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode, who were recently axed following an investigation into their behaviour behind the scenes. Earlier this year, former newsreader Huw Edwards admitted to multiple charges relating to indecent images and was handed a suspended prison sentence. The BBC responded to the latest scandal by saying: "While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously."

Even flagship shows such as Strictly Come Dancing have not escaped scrutiny. The BBC dance show faced a major shake up after allegations against ex-professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima were raised, both of whom have now been replaced. Earlier this year, former BBC radio host Russell Brand was also charged with rape, indecent assault and sexual assault between 1999 and 2005. This triggered a wider inquiry into institutional safeguarding failures during his time with the broadcaster in the 2000s. All of these scandals, which span across news, entertainment, and reality formats, have prompted repeated calls for reform, with critics calling for greater transparency and accountability from the publicly funded media giant.
