Jeremy Kyle will be a dad for a sixth time as his wife Victoria is pregnant

Jeremy Kyle has announced his wife is pregnant with their sixth child.

The iconic British TV presenter revealed they are expecting a girl.

In a statement to The Sun, he even joked that he was catching up to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's brood, who has eight children.

"Yes, baby number six is incoming, I’m catching BoJo up, to be honest!," he explained to the newspaper.

"Vic says I need to set up a side business by bottling it because I’m 58 and I’ve only got one testicle, but everyone knows that anyway.

“It’s a baby girl, she’s due early next year, and we’re over the moon as our family is complete.”

This will be the couple's second child together. They welcomed baby Oliver back in 2020.

Jeremy and Victoria married the following year.

He insists the rest of the family are overjoyed that there will be another child to add to the mix.

“The other kids are really happy, although my eldest Harriet thinks I need sectioning," he said.

“I personally think it’s my late parents having a laugh from up above, to be honest."

It comes at a busy time for Jeremy Kyle, who recently revealed he had scored a new TV gig.

He will be returning to our screens with a new show on TalkTV after filling in for Piers Morgan on the network.

From October 10 he will be heading up his own live show, Jeremy Kyle Live.

It will see 'the straight-talking voice of the people take on the issues that really matter'.

In a statement published by The Sun, the 57-year-old said he 'can't wait' to get going.

"I'm so excited to be going back to live television from 10 October.

"Sitting in for Piers over the summer has given me a taste for what the new show will be.

"Jeremy Kyle Live will be making sense of the stories that matter; speaking the language of the British people and providing practical help as we all try and navigate our way through current times.

"I can't wait to be a part of TalkTV's amazing new primetime lineup."

Kyle hasn't had his own show since his controversial reality series The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled in 2019 after 14 years.

The decision came after the death of guest Steve Dymond, who took his own life following failing a lie detector test.
