Rochelle then revealed: “We should just point out the fact that you’re about to become a dad again.” Joel interjected: “Yes. Any day right now. It’s very close. It’s really, really close.”
Rochelle continued: “Hannah is very pregnant.” Joel quipped: “Yeah, at any point, I’m not here, and Nick Ferrari has stood in my place. Yes. You know something’s gone horrifically wrong?”
He elaborated: “Hannah said that apparently birth usually starts, the contractions start when you’re very relaxed. The oxytocin then starts. Right and This is a quote. She said ‘There is nothing relaxing about you doing This Morning’ so I don’t think it’s gonna start.”
Rochelle added: “Well the phone’s on loud. The phone’s just here. They’re all ready. ready for you, Hannah. So if you need us.”
Joel and his wife Hannah Cooper, who are already parents to son Wilde, two announced in November that they are expecting their second child together.

Hannah recently confessed she’s due to give birth “dangerously soon” as she and Joel count down the days before they welcome the new arrival.
They also revealed that they know precisely what gender their unborn baby is but said they are keeping it under wraps. The model said she is currently remaining close to home in case she suddenly goes into labour.
“Oh, I’m not leaving London. Joel and I were supposed to go on a babymoon last week and ended up… freaking out and staying home,” she told The Mirror.
Meanwhile, Hannah also spoke candidly about how she plans on juggling being a mum to a newborn and a two year old.
She said: “There’s definitely that mum guilt, how do you navigate two?! “It’s a whirlwind of emotions that you almost don’t have time to think about – that’s maybe a good thing.”
