Richard went on to explain more about the couple’s baby announcement, which was shared to Calvin’s Instagram account on Tuesday evening, reports the Mirror.
“Now, Calvin celebrated the arrival on Instagram, not to everyone’s taste though. Calvin also revealed he had the placenta dried and converted into pills, as the search for eternal youth continues. Congratulations though, to the Hope-Harris family,” Richard added.
Kate then interjected: “It’s very good for you though!” with Richard agreeing: “Yes it is indeed! So, good luck with those pills. Very Hollywood but nevertheless what fantastic news to wake up to this morning.”
Calvin, who married Radio 1 presenter Vick in 2023 in a festival-themed ceremony in Ibiza, posted a selection of photographs and a sweet tribute to his wife to mark the arrival of their baby son on social media.
“20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah,” the delighted new father wrote.
