James was on Good Morning Britain to chat to his father-in-law and his co-host Ranvir Singh about the release of his book in paperback when Richard said he'd have a 'personal question' for him later.

When the time came, James replied: "Well Richard, Chloe and I are expecting our first child. We're are going to be having a little girl and you are going to be a grandfather once again!"

James was on GMB when he revealed the happy news (ITV)

A picture of Chloe, while holding up a pink, fluffy sleepsuit, appeared on screen as she stood with her mum Judy, 73, who was holding a set of scan pictures.

A beaming Richard commenting: "That's when she gave us the news, Judy looks so happy doesn't she?"

As Ranvir shared her congratulations to James, Chloe, and Richard, James added: "I've seen Richard with his other grandson Kit and he's the best grandfather in the world so I'm very, very happy."

Taking to Instagram, Chloe shared a video montage that featured pictures from ultrasound scans and selfies during her pregnancy so far.

"Little one," Chloe simply captioned the post alongside a heart.

James also shared the same video to his own Instagram page and said: "Chloe and I are so excited to announce we are expecting our first child!

"From the moment I saw her and heard her little heartbeat I fell in love! Lets hope she looks like her Mum."
