00:00 Sarah's here!

00:01 Yes.

00:02 We can't let you go without saying...

00:06 No, don't start crying now.

00:07 We cried on the first day.

00:08 Oh, this is so lovely.

00:09 Flowers for you.

00:10 Thank you.

00:11 That's so kind.

00:12 And for your little girl.

00:13 And a very special...

00:14 Oh, look at this.

00:15 I'm going to let you open this up.

00:16 No, you do.

00:17 This is brilliant.

00:18 Oh, my God.

00:19 I'm so sorry about this.

00:20 Because this is not just any baby go.

00:21 Okay.

00:22 It is very much your brand.

00:23 That is absolutely incredible.

00:24 Look.

00:25 Oh, look at this.

00:31 And surely...

00:32 It fits perfectly.

00:33 Be an extra viewer, won't it?

00:34 Oh, thank you so much.

00:35 And that's going to be the first outfit you put the baby in as soon as she's born.

00:38 Oh, my goodness.

00:39 Thank you so much, guys.

00:40 Do you know what?

00:41 I'm really looking forward to actually just...

00:42 Because I'll be up at six o'clock every morning anyway.

00:44 I'll be tuning in and watching you.

00:45 Don't start texting and getting involved.

00:46 For God's sake.

00:47 Suddenly, we'll be reading all these messages.

00:50 All these angry messages.

00:51 "Nixon, he's an...

00:52 I don't like him.

00:53 He's this.

00:54 I don't agree with this."

00:55 "I don't agree with that.

00:56 That poor woman being...

00:57 God alive."

00:58 "Bring back Nicola Thorpe."

00:59 Oh, God.

01:00 "Thank you so much."

01:01 On a serious note, mate, thank you for everything over the last few weeks.

01:04 But more than anything, I'm not very good as a man saying this.

01:08 It's the most amazing thing in the goddamn world.

01:11 It's as hard as...

01:12 We've done it six times.

01:13 It's hard.

01:14 And there are lines like, "Brilliant, awful."

01:17 But just live every moment because it's amazing.

01:20 Thank you.

01:21 And enjoy.

01:22 She'll tell you.

01:23 She's had three.

01:24 She's been so supportive of an emotional, hungry, thirsty, pregnant woman.

01:30 Losing your arm occasionally.

01:31 She nibbles on it.

01:32 You've been so helpful for everyone in sound, crew, the producers, the exec producers, everybody

01:37 has just been amazing.

01:38 And you've really made me feel like having a baby does not affect your career and it

01:43 shouldn't affect your prospects in this industry.

01:44 Certainly doesn't affect your brain, does it?

01:45 No, it does a little bit.

01:46 I'm so emotional.

01:47 Don't.

01:48 Oh, he's going to take the mick out of me now.

01:49 God.

01:50 Not at all.

01:51 Listen, thank you very much indeed.

01:54 That is it for Talk Today.

01:55 David Bull and Sarah Houston with you tomorrow.

01:57 We're back next week.

01:58 Kevin and Alex are up next.

02:00 Last word from you, Nicola Thorpe.

02:01 I'm going to have a baby.

02:02 I'll see you in the new year with a little one.

02:04 Ta-ra.

02:05 Thanks for watching.

02:06 Ta-ra.

02:07 Don't make that.

02:08 Get out of here.

02:08 (upbeat music)
