The Prime Minister has yet to comment much on the impending addition to his family, but did give a rather awkward interview on This Morning earlier this week.
Appearing on the blue sofa in a bid to calm down public fears over the coronavirus, he was firstly grilled over the baby news by hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
When asked how he was feeling about the baby he simply said “very excited” and mumbled before finally confirmed he “expected” he might end up changing a nappy at some point.
However the perhaps most telling answer was when he was asked how the rest of his family had taken the pregnancy news, as he refused to answer directly and simply said: “It’s very exciting.”
