Good Morning Britain star shares congratulations as he makes baby news announcement
Good Morning Britain was back on the telly on Tuesday (5 August) with Kate Garraway and Ed Balls once again leading the ITV programme.
The presenting pair brought ITV viewers all of the day's news and headlines, with Richard Arnold joining them to present the latest telly and showbiz updates.
During Richard's segment, he made an exciting announcement, revealing two celebrities had welcomed their first child together.
"Congratulations are in order for my one-time stand-in, Vick Hope!" Richard excitedly told GMB fans. "Vick and husband Calvin Harris have welcomed a baby boy, you may have seen on the internet, who they have named Micah."
Richard went on to explain more about the couple's baby announcement, which was shared to Calvin's Instagram account 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 added.
Kate then interjected: "It's very good for you though!" with Richard agreeing: "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 married Radio 1 presenter Vick in 2023 in a festival-themed ceremony in Ibiza, posted a selection of photographs and a sweet tribute to his wife to mark the arrival of their baby son 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 delighted new father wrote.
Calvin's selection of images showed that Vick had opted for a water birth, with one picture capturing her in a blue birthing pool outdoors on a balcony boasting a stunning backdrop. Additional photos displayed the placenta being transformed into capsules alongside shots of Calvin, whose real name is Adam Wiles, cradling his newborn son.
The new parents were overwhelmed with congratulations and kind words from supporters and famous friends alike.
DJ colleague Mista Jam posted: "Welcome to Parenthood guys. The best ride of your life," whilst Craig David commented: "Congratulations to you both. Amazing."
Gordon Ramsay shared: "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.

Meanwhile, Madonna has spent the past few years working on a movie about her life. Actress Julia Garner was lined up to play the Hung Up hitmaker in the film before it appeared to be left on the shelf over two years ago. Now it seems that plans have been re-imagined with Julia confirming last month she is still lined up to play the iconic popstar in a Netflix miniseries about her life. Madonna and Julia are working with filmmaker Shawn Levy on the project, which is in the early stages of development. Confirming that the project was still happening, despite the uncertainty, Julia told the SmartLess podcast: 'Yeah, I mean, that's supposed to still happen." However, she did appear to hint that the project may still be far off hitting screens as she affirmed that "anything that's great, takes time".

Love Island star Yasmin suffers heartbreak just days after leaving villa
Love Island star Yasmin found love with now-boyfriend Jamie and they finished third on the ITV2 reality show but she has been dealt with heartbreak just days later Love Island's Yasmin Pettet has been dealt with heartbreak just days after leaving the villa. The reality star, 24, made it to the final of the latest series of the ITV2 reality dating show, and finished in third place with now-boyfriend Jamie Rhodes but just days after the programme drew to a close, she has revealed that her cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming. On Wednesday, she wrote on a black background on her Instagram story: "As I've spoken about her on the show I'm sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who's been by my side for 11 years now. When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off." Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: "Rightfully they didn't tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island." It comes after Love Island fans fume as third place couple announced as Yas and Jamie. The commercial banking executive assured her fans that she was trying to keep up with her social media as much as possible but also explained to her near-350,000 followers that she needs time to deal with the 'heartbreak' she has had to endure. She added: "I'm trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul." Yasmin's feline friend had been mentioned several times during her time in the Love Island villa, and her fans flooded social media as they sent her their sympathy. Many had been moved to tears by the news, and one admitted: "Yasmin sharing the news that her cat passed away whilst in the villa is actually the most gut-wrenching thing I could imagine and my heart is breaking for her imagine being so excited to see her miaow miaow and her baby isn't there anymore." Clearly shocked at the news after the cat had been a topic of conversation during the Meet the Family segment on the show, one said: "I'm crying cos she straight away asked her mum and sister how Miaow miaow was when they visited the villa and they had to lieeeeeeeee," whilst another viewer said: "Nooo Yasmins cat Miaow Miaow died while she was in the villa and she was talking about how excited she was for Jamie to meet her." Another fan wrote: "Not the icon miaow miaow passing away. It was Yasmin's cat from love island that died while she was in the villa." Despite the sad news, Yasmin's first post upon exiting the villa spoke of her positive experience on the show, and she thanked some of her co-stars throughout her time in the competition. She wrote: "My love island journey has been crazy to say the least but I really wouldn't have been able to do it without my Jamie, Toni and Shakira. I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds." When she and her significant other were announced as the third place couple, were not overly impressed that they had finished behind Harry and Shakira before Cach and Toni claimed the £50,000 prize. One user said on X/ Twitter: "Not my winners third," while another person: "Harry sneaking to top 2 over yas and jamie someone hand me a gun." One disappointed fan commented: "I'm lowkey shocked yas and jamie are 3rd." "Yas and Jamie 3rd place???? Can the UK do anything right," one said and one posted: "I wasn't expecting yas and jamie as 3rd actually." Meanwhile, Angel and Ty were announced as the fourth place couple. The two are now 'exclusive', with Ty said: "It's definitely going in the right direction," before adding he was looking forward to the outside world with her.
