Simon preceded to read the breaking news live on air and has since gone viral for the way he responded:
He said: “Now, baring in mind that they announced that she was pregnant back in September and it was thought that she was around two or three months pregnant, I’m not sure how much news this really is. But anyway, it’s April so clear your diaries, get the time booked off ’cause that’s what I’m doing.”
