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)
