Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba melted hearts today as his tiny baby Roman made an appearance on This Morning.

The adorable tot’s TV debut came as Ore and Davina McCall were drafted in to present the ITV show on Friday.

Ore, 32, kicked off the programme by revealing little Roman, one month, was on set with his mum Portia.

The camera then panned around to show Portia cradling tiny Roman.

So cute!

Ore explained that gorgeous Roman arrived just as he was booked to host the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2018, and he felt “guilty” about being away from home for nearly a month.

“He has been so good, as has Portia, my wife, such an inspiration,” he said.

“They are absolutely winning at it and I’m so proud of them. A lot of people know I went off on the Strictly tour for three weeks and Portia single-handedly, with her parents looking after her, raised this five, six-week-old.

“I felt so guilty but good in the knowledge she was being looked after and doing so well.”

Ore and Portia welcomed Roman, their first child, on January 8.

At the time, Ore gushed: “Cannot find the words to describe this feeling… Just thank you God for our little blessing. His mum is simply my hero. 09.01.18 the best day in our tiny family’s life. Roman, you are our world… and the world is all yours.”

Since then, the proud dad has filled his Instagram feed with cute pics of his little man.

And last night he posted the “first Oduba family portrait” showing him, Portia and Roman together. Aww!

Meanwhile, after a busy day of presenting This Morning, Ore and Portia took little Roman to register his birth.

The proud parents posed on Instagram Stories with the little one, alongside a caption which said: “HE’S A REAL BOY! Roman Ife Oduba registered!”

It’s the first time Ore and Portia have revealed their chosen middle name, Ife.
