Aww! BBC Presenter goes into labour minutes after appearing on Live TV (Photos)

A BBC presenter went into labour minutes after reading the news on live TV - and gave birth to a baby boy with a fellow newsreader by her side. Victoria Fritz, who reads the business news on BBC Breakfast, had been discussing easyJet's latest figures on Tuesday morning's show.

But she had more important news to deliver and went into labour while still on set.

Her husband, Dan, was stuck in traffic on the M6, so co-presenter Sally Nugent, 45, stepped up as Victoria's birthing partner.

After welcoming a baby boy at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester, Victoria tweeted her thanks, describing it as a 'BBC Breakfast team effort'.

'My heartfelt thanks to @sallynugent & St Mary's drs&midwives who helped me deliver my little boy yesterday. A @BBCBreakfast team effort!' she tweeted.
