Holly Willoughby went absolutely ga-ga over nine-month-old baby, Molly, on today’s This Morning.
Little Molly was on the show with her parents, who were shocked when mum, Tess Morton, gave birth after going through the menopause.

Hols was so clearly smitten with the cutie-pie, that she grabbed her and told Tess and husband, Neil, that she was going to keep her.
And Holly, who has hinted recently that she’d like more babies, told the couple: “She is so beautiful. She is so chilled.”
Tess and Neil had given up hope of conceiving their own baby after three failed attempts at IVF.
Last year, Tess, who went through the menopause seven years ago, went to see her GP because she was suffering from bloating and cramps.
She’d been told to prepare herself for the possibility she’d developed ovarian cancer – but the truth was something completely different.
During a routine ultrasound to take a look at her ovaries, Tess discovered she was actually carrying a baby!
Tess recalled the moment she found out she was expecting Molly – which means miracle: “The hospital doctor was looking at the monitor as he rolled the scanner over my stomach and said, ‘Your ovaries are fine but look at this.’
I looked at the screen and could see a baby. I said, ‘Is this mine?’
“The nurse was holding my hand because I was scared it was bad news. I cried because I never thought it would happen to me.”
Tess and Neil revealed how the failed IVF treatments had left them stressed and broke.
Tess said: “We got a free go at IVF. We did that but that was unsuccessful. So we went for another round and paid for that and unfortunately that didn’t work.
We then had all the tests under the sun including one blood test that cost £900.
“It was heart-breaking, stressful. It was not a nice experience.”
They spent over £15000 in total and had no baby to show for it.
Tess recalled telling Neil that not only did she not have cancer, but she was pregnant.
“Neil was worried because I hadn’t phoned. He saw me smirking as I pulled into the drive and came to the door.
“I whispered, ‘It’s not cancer, it’s a baby in my tummy.’ He was mouthing swear words. He was over the moon.”
