Hilary was on the show to discuss some health issues alongside fellow doctor, Amir Khan.

However, towards the end of the segment, Christine halted the medical chat for an announcement.

People talk about the NHS being broken, but this was a moment of fantastic, five-star, wonderful experience.

She said: “Hilary, firstly, congratulations, grandad again!”

Hilary replied: “I know! I just wanted to say here’s a picture of my daughter’s baby being born by caesarean section.

“People talk about the NHS being broken, but this was a moment of fantastic, five-star, wonderful experience at Kingston Maternity Hospital.”

He continued: “Baby born by elective caesarean section, too young female obstetrician surgeons, lovely atmosphere in the room, everything went perfectly, couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

“Where the NHS works well, fabulous, thank you Kingston!”

Christine then gushed: “Congratulations!”
